My impression may be wrong but I seem to remember that OPTCD=Q was
used ONLY on 7-track tapes. This might be that the non-IBM machines
writing ASCII only wrote 7-Track Tapes and did not support 8-Track
tapes. This was years ago when I needed to support it and things
probably have changed since then.
