Datri) Organization: The Stepstone Corporation, Sandy Hook, CT Lines: 13 HP cartridges are indeed preformatted in some way. Hence, you have to get your tapes from HP. Pop open the window on an HP tape, and you'll see a pair of little holes (!) in the tape. I think they have something to do with it. I've taken surplus HP tapes and used them in a sun, but when you do that they are forever unusable in the HP. -- @disclaimer(Any concepts or opinions above are entirely mine, not those of my employer, my GIGI, or my 11/34) beak is beak is not Anthony A.
