I can’t actually share the project I’m working on. Overall Wikipedia has been an excellent resource for this, even for a couple 8mm formats I was unaware of. One thing that strikes me as odd is that DLT III XT media is apparently from 1995, while DLT IV media is from 1994?!? I’m not sure about that, and I was sure DLT IV wasn’t that old, but it might be. It’s also possible that there are some problems with the DLT page on Wikipedia, since the age of the drives is given, not the media. The one that’s really hurt my brain is DC 600A, DC 1000, and DC 2000. Using https://www.qic.org/html/qicstan.html and other info at https://www.qic.org/ I’m fairly confused. As best as I can tell: DC 600A = 1983 DC 1000 = 1994 DC 2000 = 1991 The problem I have is that with what I’m working on, I have indications of DC 1000 being used in 1985. Zane
