thread,
A tape in this condition of striction is probably unusable anyway,
unless you back it up a little in an oven, but even so it could be
readable just for a couple of hours
I wonder if the header could be cut off and
used for the other guy's who has the broken leader.
I think you are referring to me. The leader I was talking about was the one
*inside the drive* that hooks the tape in the cartridge. I may have used the
wrong term, if so sorry about that.
That wouldn't involve the magnetic media being
involved, and might fix his tape cartridge. I think someone suggested
sacrificing a cartridge, this would be better than a possibly good one as
a
source for the leader.
So sacrificing a cartridge wouldn't help in my case....
