Well, at least it gives me the specs to find a compatible tape. In doing
some more searching, I'm having a very hard time finding anyone that
actually still sells the tape. A few people still list them, but so far
no one seems to actually have them. Probably because from what I can
find, Maxell no longer makes the tape.
Any chance you might want to part with one tape on the cheap?
Although, honestly, if I can't find a supplier for tapes, it won't really
matter if the drive works or not. Maybe I'll just stick an audio tape in
it and see what happens (found a newsgroup posting that says not to even
think of doing that... but they don't say why... if the universe implodes
tomorrow, you can all blame me for using a cheap audio tape in the drive)
