ABSTRACT:
A magnetic tape cartridge library includes a memory which stores calibration parameters associated with the tape cartridges and the tape drives. The tape cartridges preferably have a cartridge identifier written to the tape in a plurality of locations along the tape. When a tape cartridge is inserted into a tape drive, the appropriate calibration parameters are retrieved in order to bypass a tape drive initialization sequence.
