RE: Bring new life to your HP-98200 Data Cartridges!
I use my 85 extensively as an HPIB test instrument system in my electronics hobby shop. I had bought a couple of the new DC100's from Athana and they worked well, but then I stumbled across a 9121D diskette drive for less than the cost of those two cassettes and have been using it instead. In my case the 85 isn't needed for its portability so the size of the drive is worth not having the worry about those tapes falling apart or having to make several backups of them. In many cases with the old DC100 tapes, the oxide material can wear off the tape too. But in every case with mine, the belts breaking ended up being the failure mode and its good to know Athana can replace them.
