all standards."
Oy. Looks like I'll have to hang on to every single different tape
drive I find to make sure I can recover any QIC formats that get
thrown at me. At least until I find a definitive reference that tells
me what drives can read what formats.
Well, I'll help write up a list of drives if you want to start one. Might
be a good reference to have out on the 'net anyway.
