Jon writes: "Back in the day when digital yet mechanical was the way to go, I would record to DDS data cartridges.  I'm certain some people would give me a hard time for using 90 meter tape ever... but I figured I would only have to transfer the data once.  I'm just glad the tape still transfers.  I have rarely had an issue, but wholly crap the farm in Decorah IA ate tapes every time."
