I have a 4951. It uses the same tapes as the HP-85,
HP 9825, etc.
IIRC
they're DC-100 tapes and you can use the same (40MB?) tapes that were
used in PCs.
Really? Didn't know the PC tapes would work in the older drives.
Given that the storage capacity of a DECtape and an old PC backup tape
are so wildly different, I didn't assume the media was compatible even
if the shell would fit in the drive. You can also reformat and use DECTapes.
Right. That's what my boss used to do. I have plenty of
4951-formatted DECtapes to last me a while (5-10, IIRC).
