Hi,
The DAT tapes
I have (going back to 60meter DDS-1) all have
this media recognition system that the drives are supposed to
respect, or so I thought. Did I think wrong?
No, that sounds right.
I'm sure that the OP is correct about the media recognition
system....BUT.... ;-)
I've just gone and fished out three of my DAT cassettes (two 90min [one
Maxell, one TDK] and one 46min Maxell). Comparing them with the 60 meter HP
DDS1 tape I still have lying next to my PC, the pattern of "media
recognition" holes is 100% identical on all 4 tapes (in position AND depth).
Go figure...?
Maybe HP did things "their way"?
TTFN - Pete.
