the HP 7980S 9-track tape drive:
Does anyone have info on this beastie?
Yes. It's basically the same as the 88780. I've got the user and
service manuals somewhere.
I'm trying to convince it to be
nice to me and lock itself to 1600bpi, but it doesn't wanna play... :(
You can only tell it what density to use when writing. It autodetects
for reading, and AFAIK there is no way to override that.
