One of these

Go for it ;-)
One limitation is that I have an 800BPI 7970B with the HP specific
non-Pertec inteface which I can't connect to any other systems, and
the other Pertec interface tape drives which I can connect to other
systems to write tapes are 1600/6250 BPI. So I can't write an 800BPI
diagnostic tape myself, unless I hack up some way to do that directly
from the HP system, which I suppose I could do if I
actually spent
some time working on it...
