HP also has a proprietary 6250XC format that adds data
compression. This
was the forerunner of DDS-DC, the data compression used on 3.81mm DDS (DAT)
cartridges.
The nice thing about that format is that the first record on a
compressed tape was written *uncompressed* with the data:
"** Hewlett-Packard Precision Tape Compression **"
(without the quotes).
(Guess that's better than Imprecise Tape Compression :)
