Hi. Having recently been the happy recipient of an HP
7978 tape drive I have
set about the task of finding new blank tapes for it. Not too difficult
until faced with the embarrassing question of whether my tapes need to be
Wright Line seal or Easy Load (Auto Load ?). My vintage magnetic media
experience doesn't go much beyond 8 inch disks, so I wondered if anyone could
please give me some hints on how to answer this. (Of course I haven't got
any manuals). Thanks in advance.
IIRC I think these are the flat frontload drives like the ones Pyramid
used.
I don't think it matters with those drives since the tape seal must be
removed to load them.
