which should have been a load of recyclable TK50 media. Instead of
CompacTape, however, they are all CompacTape III. I think these were
TK85 2.6gb media. Does anyone know if they will still be writable
with the standard format in a TK50? Or do I have a bunch of useless
DLT I tapes?
I take it you didn't get what was shown in the picture.
DLT III tapes are far from useless. I use them on my VMS box with a
modernish tape drive, much better for backing up 18-36GB drives than
TK50's. :^)
