8 mm tapes

[dwight elvey]

Hi Chuck
 That would be great. Would it still work OK as the spec says
112m? I can buy three 160 EXABYTE labled tapes 
on ebay for not a hole lot as well. I own you a disk
from the Canon Cat so you can look at it as well.
I tend to get side tracked. 
 So, what all seem to be saying is that there is no
special length requirement. I don't have to get exactly
112m tapes?
