Data Grade Tapes Only on Kitt Peak (1Dec94) (from KPNO, NOAO Newsletter No. 40, 1 December 1994) Changes in the specifications of video-grade 8-mm "Exabyte" tapes have caused significant failures in writing data on the mountain. Because these failures are a big drain on our maintenance and technical staff, effective 1 January 1995 only data-grade tapes will be used at Kitt Peak. Data-grade tapes--both for Exabytes and DATs--may be purchased in limited quantities from Reception for $10.00 per tape. Bruce Bohannan, Caty Pilalchowski
