The #6534 offers improved performance over #2621 and #6501 for external tape attachment,
and therefore, effectively replaces them. However, there are some devices such as the #5032
Removable Media Cluster Box, the 2440-A12 ½-inch Reel Tape Unit, and the 7208-002 2.3G
8mm Cartridge Tape Unit, that are not supported by the #6534. For these devices, the #2621
is still required.
The #6534 does not provide Hardware Data Compression (HDC).
