I get asked to send people tapes about every month or so. About 3/4 of
the time they can read TK50 and the rest of the time I need to use a
9-track reel. It's a big pain making the 9-track because I have to
move my stuff to a computer I don't control where they don't give me
enough space and the drive's always broken and (etc. etc. etc.) If you
will need to send other people tapes, make sure you know how you will
do it if you don't have a TK50.
