I actually mentioned this detail to his advisor when they were discussing this topic after his student's defense, but I don't think he remembers this information. I am guessing that the tape was recorded around 1986, so any new density introduced after that (if there were any) can be ruled out. About the format, I have no idea. Back when I used such tapes myself (Burroughs 6700 in 1981) this kind of information would often be written on a label glued to the protective case. I haven't seen this particular tape, so I don't know if there are any hints there. -- Jecel
