As far as I know you cannot use un-formatted tapes, as most of these are wound
on in the opposite direction to the HP tapes. However, in the UK anyway, you
can use 3M tapes models DC600HC and DC615HC. I assume these should be
available in Canada as well. The DC600HC is 600ft and the 615 is only 150ft.
