• Be sure to use only the cartridges designed specifically for AIT.

damage the AIT drive. Although commercially available 8mm videotapes
resemble AIT cartridges in appearance, they have entirely different
specifications and cannot be used.

SCSI Termination

The AITi200, AITi100, and AITi50 conform to the Microsoft PC97
standard, which requires the internal- (naked) drive to be terminated with
an external terminator.
Microsoft PC97 SCSI requirements
SCSI peripherals must not terminate the bus. Both internal and external
cable ends are instead terminated by plug-in connectors.
