Exabyte AME tape recognition holes
Greetings,
I don't have any Exabyte AME tapes so I can't see for myself. Would someone please post a description of the recognition holes and write protect state holes on the underside of the cartridge (I can't find a description on the 'Net either). Please orient the tape with the retractable hood facing you and the drive spool gear teeth and recognition holes facing up. Please describe the cluster of holes on the upper left (the top two holes matter most). Please also describe the upper two holes on the upper right with the tab in the open position and in the closed position and also which position is labeled as 'save' or 'protect' Thanks much, Michael |
