Data Electronics Incorporated (DEI) CMTD-300S2 tape drive manual

[Chuck Guzis]

I've got a 3M DCD drive that's very similar--fixed multi-track head.
I've never seen a practical use for it, however, given the terribleness
of old QIC carts.

DEI also re-packaged the Exabyte 8mm transports in their own enclosures
with their own LCD readouts.   I've got one such drive here.
