9-track BOT/EOT markers?

From: Josh Dersch <derschjo at msu.edu> Subject: 9-track BOT/EOT markers? To: "On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts" <cctalk at classiccmp.org> Date: Friday, June 13, 2008, 10:32 PM Hey all -- Got myself an HP 7980S 9-track drive (always wanted a 9-track drive...) and accidentally mangled my one and only 9-track tape just after the BOT marker (not sure what caused it, maybe the drive needs a bit of adjustment...). So I have two questions: Where can I find a reasonable replacement for the marker, and where does it go? I see the sense foil on the part of the tape that got mangled, but I don't know what side of the tape it was originally on... Thanks! Josh P.S. The magical tape autoloading thing this drive does is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time :).
