Hello Folks,
I?m having fun time to erase used DDS tapes for reuse. I?ve been collecting those over
years. Recently, I discovered that with DEC brand tapes, the drive reports the cartridges
to be write protected, eventhough the slider is closed which means, they?re supposed to be
writable. I suspect there is a software write protect flag on them.
Any thoughs, hints, advices how to unlock these tapes for overwrite?
:wq! PoC
