SCSI to IDE bridges...

[Rik Bos]

BASF made very bad audio tapes in the 60'th and 70'th , after a few years
the powder came off the tape.
But as I recall BASF media was rebranded to 3M in the 90'th with is now
rebranded to imagination.

And this is an urban legend since all my BASF floppies are (still) good. 
They weren't worse than floppies from any other brand. Anyways, they don't
produce any magnetic media since a couple of years any more.
