Looking for any experiences with the new VHS 8mm cassette cartridge
backup systems.  2.3 gig on a tape.  Is it reliable? Does it emulate
standard tape devices?  Do rotating heads cause heavier tape wear?
Is it slow? Can separate files be stored on a single tape?  Looking
for systems to run on MicrovaxII under ultrix.

Thanks.

If there is adequate response I'll summarize.
