It's been a long time since I've been inside a 9144/5, but I seem to
remember there is no optical stuff for a hole sensor. I can't comment on
the name of the format.
The 9145 contains a 68000 CPU and some battery-backed RAM modules, and
alas some ASICs. One day I'll figure out something about it.

Not with a QIC02 interface (in fact the host
interface is HPIB), but
HP made a couple of drives (9144 and 9145 at least) that used takes
with the same form factoer as the DC600, but which had to be factory
formatted.
Aren't those the Iomat-formatted tapes? (no holes in the tape, nor
angled mirror for sensing them.
