Are you sure DC1000 cartridges will work?
It's supposed to use DC100
cartridges, which are not QIC-40. I didn't think DC100, DC1000, and
DC2000 cartridges were interchangeable, despite being the same
physical size. But I haven't tried it.
I am not sure DC1000 cartridges will work. Another list member said that
what I need are QIC-40 tapes. When I looked those up on the web, the
tape manufacturer said a DC1000 was their designation for QIC-40 tapes.
I never said DC100, DC1000, and DC2000 cartridges were
interchangeable... in fact they aren't.
Now that you mention it, I don't recall if it was DC100 or DC1000 they
said... I will check!
