But what drive was used to write
this (DEC) tape is a mystery.
DEC didn't sell a whole lot of different 1600/6250 drives.
TU78 was probably the most common.
and.. as I was writing this I remembered that it was possible to switch
densities on that drive mid-tape. I accidentally created a tar tape with
two different densities on it. I only tried reading it long after that
system was scrapped and found I couldn't.
