Okay. I can see that.
However, "couple (of) months" seems incongruent with "day-to-day".
I am assuming that the day-to-day operation to mean that the source data
is still accessible on the source system. As such, it's probably simply
a matter of annoyance when a QIC* fails and you must re-do the process
that was using it.
*Can I use /just/ QIC as a proper name or should I say /QIC/ /cartridge/
analogous to VIN number?
Works well enough for my needs :) I've got a small
stack of QICs I
use primarily with the Suns, they are reliable enough. Again, we're
not storing launch codes on these or shooting them to the moon or
something, I just want tape bands that don't destroy tape.
ACK
