SUMMARY: 8MM questions

From: John Malick (john@starinc.com)

Original question:

| How many full writes to a particular tape can be done before the tape
| may start evolving tape errors.
|
| 30,40,50 full dumps? I can't find anything.

The answers, of course, varied as much as the wind. But the average
was about 30. 30 writes to a particular tape and then consider archiving
it or pitching it.

thanks to all
