Appologies to mailing list - I forgot to embed carridge returns. Here's another
copy.
John,
The large (700') tapes say "3M - Scotch".
The small (600') tapes say "OPUS CriticalFile".
They all come in plastic tape holders.
These tapes originally contained demo files for Tektronix 4014 terminal emulator
products my former company (Northwest Digital Systems) produced. These are
data files only, no .exe files. They were created using VMS Copy. The bit density
is 1600BPI. Some of the tapes include instructions for reading the tape. The date
on this documentation is November, 1988.
