Re:
value ihto the
tape drive yet! The capstan rubber on those drives
generally has turned to goo by now, which will come off and coat the
tape you insert, ruining the tape! Joe Rigdon and Stan Perkins
Well, it'll coat the 'drive puck' in the tape cartridge, not the tape itself.
Been there, done that :(
Luckily, it was on a test tape, not the tape with data on it ("Keep on Drivin"
game for 264x terminal)
