I have an HP 7970A - 9-track, 800BPI - with my HP 2116. I wrote monitor commands to exercise it and do tape dumps from it. They're uncommon compared to 1600 & > BPI drives, figured that was because the 800 standard was older and saw a shorter life before being superseded, but are such drives that rare or hard to come by? (I rather wished it was 1600 so I could read more-common tapes.)
