Is your data really worth that _little_ that it's
not worth
buying the
right tape?
Well, any data I'd consider storing on such a strange,
you-probably-won't-see-another, device would have to be worth very little,
or, more likely, backed up onto CD, DAT, or 8MM. :)
That, and where do you suggest one should get "digital cassette" these days?
I'm not
sure that would work, but given the improved
resolution, etc, in
> cassette tapes during the last several years, it just may. I am pretty sure the coercivity of the tape in the
'digital'
cassettes is
considerably high that that of the tape in normal audio cassettes...
Well, again, cassettes have gotten better. Depending on the age of this
"digital cassette" technology, it might substitute in a pinch.
Speaking of which, anyone remember anything about the VHS tape backup
devices? Capacity, systems they'd work with, etc? A friend and I were
discussing these a few days ago.
