  10. Can someone please comment on the reliability of extented length cartridges
  11. and a good source for ordering?  I was recently made aware of this.  The
  12. extended length I read about would be 650 feet versus the standard 540-550
  13. feet.
  14.  
  15. We are somewhat sceptical of the reliability of extended length tapes after
  16. our poor experience with 3600 ft 9-track tape.
  17.  
  18. Thanks
