[comp.os.vms] Problematic batches of TK50 tapes?

DHASKIN@CLARKU.BITNET (06/23/88)

I heard a recent rumor that I was wondering if someone could substantiate--
supposedly DEC has started a recall on some defective TK50 tapes? Something to
do with oxide coming off the base and (understandably) having a somewhat
unfortunate effect on the tape drives themselves.

Any and all information, especially batch numbers, would be appreciated.

Thanx,
