Believe it or not, but CDC/MPI did make their own tapes in Brynmawr,
Wales. It was a big operation, producing tapes and disks. MPI began as
a joint venture with Honeywell.
IBM did have a big tape manufacturing operation in Tucson, but sold it
to 3M, who then produced tapes to IBM specs to be sold with the IBM
label. I can't recall the date, however.
