Writing HP cartridge tapes on a Sun 3

[Anthony A. Datri]

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.
