Sony AIT and DDS have been my most popular eBay finds so far, I am blessed with SCSI equipment, even if it is a SS10.

Seems the resilience of tape is hard pressed to be beaten. -H On 24 July 2017 04:56:35 BST, TeoZ via cctalk <cctalk@classiccmp.org> wrote: >The major 8mm tape drives I know about are SONY AIT > >-----Original Message----- >From: Glen Slick via cctalk >Sent: Sunday, July 23, 2017 11:35 PM >To: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts >Subject: Re: Scsi tape and compatible tapes that are available > >On Sun, Jul 23, 2017 at 8:23 PM, Chuck Guzis via cctalk < >cctalk@classiccmp.org> wrote: >> >> There have been many tape formats that have gone in and out of >fashion. >> In the late 80s and early 90s, 8mm videotape-type Exabyte carts were >> very popular--when have you last seen one? >> > >30 seconds ago.
