I really hope
you didn't wreck that TZ86 and TZ88, thankfully these are the
DEC drives and I think they might be more forgiving than something like a
DLT2000 or DLT4000 drive.
Hey Zane, I may be a UNIX weenie from your perspective, and I did take
a day or two before I explored the DEC7000, and it will not run VMS,
but I am not so crazy as to "wreck" good tape drives :-) I just wish
the 20GB tape media wasn't almost as expensive as a 20 GB hard drive
:-)
