Actually, I can't speek for the streamer C= uses in the 3070, but normally 
most of the 150Meg SCSI streamers using QIC150 format will also read 60 Meg 
tapes. And, the driver couldn't care less, as all this is done by the drive. 
The Software only sees the raw data comming from the drive.

With my Cipher, I have absolutely no problems reading 60Meg Apollo written 
Tar tapes (under AmigaDOS, still waiting for the current AmigaUnix 
release...)
