Joe mentioned that this other HP tape was driven by the hubs like an
audio cassette. A DC300 isn't, it's got the belt-between-the-spools
drive. I rather misinterpretted Joe and thought he said it _was_ like an
audio cassette (which the 9830 tape certainly is).

If that's the tape I'm thinking of,
it's used in the 9830, and I think
also the 982. There was an external tape drive for these machines that I
forget the number of (HP9865???)
No--the DC-300 is a big tape, thinner, but almost the size of a VHS
cassette. DC-300, DC-600, DC-6150, DC-6250 and several other formats share
the same mechanical layout and size.
