Hi. Having recently been the happy recipient of an HP
7978 tape drive I have
set about the task of finding new blank tapes for it. Not too difficult
until faced with the embarrassing question of whether my tapes need to be
Wright Line seal or Easy Load (Auto Load ?).
The 7978 doesn't do anything with the autoload seals so you will have
to remove and replace them manually. Wright Line or similar seal is
probably easier to handle manually and somewhat less brittle plastic
too.
The 7976 can handle autoload seals if present, but this doesn't really
make up for the rest of the drive.

Hmm, first time I read about a 7976, care to tell more :-)?
