I've got a stack of 8mm (doesn't mention a

DLT3 tapes at work which we're getting set to throw away... the DDS/8mm
tapes have some data on them, and will be degaussed... the DLT3's are
unused, from several years ago.
Won't degaussing DDS tapes wipe the factory written sync stuff and render
the tapes worthless? (That was my experience with some years ago
anyway...)
