I'm still getting data reliably off of Coleco Datapacks that I recorded
circa 1986. But I've heard there are limitations. Don't use the tapes much
any more. One person talking about this a while back claimed it was better
to store casettes vertically rather than horizontally. Never paid much heed
to that, so I don't know if it's true or not.
