John,
The large (700') tapes say "3M - Scotch".
The small (600') tapes say "OPUS CriticalFile".
They all come in plastic tape holders.
These tapes originally contained demo files for Tektronix 4014 terminal emulator products
my former company (Northwest Digital Systems) produced. These are data files only, no
.exe files. They were created using VMS Copy. The bit density is 1600BPI. Some of the
tapes include instructions for reading the tape. The date on this documentation is
November, 1988.
