I have heard rumors (second hand) which imply that 8mm tapes are not stable for long-term storage and that they may not be as reliable as 9-track tape. These rumors may be getting started by 9-track tape sales reps. I don't know. Using 8mm tape on Suns we have yet to have any problems. Can anyone give me any "real-world" views on it?
