Jeff,

Do you happen to have a Mammoth1 compatible cleaning tape to inspect?
If so, please read my thread about cleaning tape ID problems at...


(note: substitute the hated 'aioe.org' for your-nntp-host - works for
anyone)

....and let me know what you see in your tape.

Thanks much,

Michael

I don't have a cleaning tape, but one of my customers does, maybe. As
I recall, M1 is 20GB uncompressed, while M2 is 60GB. Yeah, they have
M1. Nothing like 1980's technology and raising the dead.

I had to find the thread by buzzword and author. The above message ID
is broken somewhe

I'll look, but I probably won't have time for a few days. Sorry(tm).

Sorry about the munged address, too fast with the mouse...
Here is a working URL:

news://news.aioe.org:119/ZtCdncngUtn...ted.cpinternet

(NOTE: aioe.org, home of trolls and miscreants, is still good for free
referencing of articles in this fashion - displaying in monospace fonts in
a web browser, without the visual corruption of the Google interface)

Thanks, Jeff. I await your next reply

If anyone else can lay hands on a cleaning tape, please let me know what
you see as well.
