Need manual for Everex digital cassette drive - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

14 Dec 2001

Sounds like the same tapes as the Burroughs cassettes I've used
and still have a few of. If so, case construction and tape
characteristics aside, they also have BOT/EOT holes 17.7 inches

   just off the
center of the top of the cassette, and they have 
 two slide
 tabs to turn write-protection on/off.  Otherwise, it looks just like a
 regular analog cassette tape.  
 No problem, just file a notch in your "analog" cassette. ;) 
Is your data really worth that _little_ that it's not worth buying the 
right tape?

...
  I'm not sure that would work, but given the
improved resolution, etc, in
 cassette tapes during the last several years, it just may. 
I am pretty sure the coercivity of the tape in the 'digital' cassettes is 
considerably high that that of the tape in normal audio cassettes...
