not much you can do without the little cart......
these big ones- I've never heard of them. sounds like a cross between a
nab/8-track cart and an elcaset.... but if the audio quality is crap, then
they are probably data-intended (though how are they indexed?); see the
earlier thread re audio on floppies/bh curves.

I have a thing somewhere which bolts onto my ferrograph 1/4" deck and will
hold a few hundred feet of tape in a loop. it has non-stick material for
rollers, predating the moonshots.
aren't geordies clever?

duncan.
