P.S. I thought that I read here or in a PDP-8-specific forum/mail-list
that DECtape wasn't actually laminated on both sides, which apparently
explained the visible red oxide material removed from dirty DECtapes while
cleaning them (per whoever posted their observations)?
I wiped the recording side of a DECtape with alcohol and all of the oxide
came off. I don't remember if it was a DEC manufactured tape.
