| If it really is an RW504 then no, only 1X media (650MB) is supported.
If what they have is really an RW524 (Jukebox SCSI ID String will
still say "RW504", so check the DRIVE SCSI ID String) which has an
RWZ52 instead of the 1X RWZ01, then it is really an RW524, in which
case it can handle 2X MO-media )1.2GB...

| What's the real question here? Is it 600 MB vs 650 MB media? Or 600 MB
vs 1.2 MB media?

| The real question is 595 vx 650. The RWZ1X-01 is 595mb. It looks like
we don't sell 650mb platters (unless you know of one).

| The difference between 600 MB (595, to split hairs), and 650 MB media
is sector size. The 595 MB media uses a 512 byte sector size, and the
650 uses a 1024 byte sector size.
The drive in the RW504 can handle either. The real question then is the
SW driving the drive and the Jukebox.
On OpenVMS, only the 512 byte sector size media is supported by OSMS, the
control SW. On Digital Unix, I don't know the current sector size
support status. Ask in MSGAXP::OPTICAL.
