More tapes - This time all Tektronix 405x series

[AJ Palmgren]

Ah, yes.  I'm fascinated by the stranger formats.

Now I'm even more curious, now that you say it isn't the more common QIC-11
or QIC-24 formats.

Do you know what specific hardware (tape drive models, formatter boards,
etc) that was used to write or read these tapes with this format?
