Tying customers to formats with unbreakable, softwares and secret tricks is seldom productive. Customers suspect that something really wrong with the machines is hiding behind that. It is not clear if it is legal. After all, academic customers pay money taken from public and transferred to granting agencies. It means that public support unbreakable format codings, softwares and secret tricks... The question is what for? - for unbreakable format codings, softwares and secret tricks? It puts a lot of noise into the system which is already noisy and people start to prefer open codes... There is another option: maybe these are still XENTRONIX formats that were about 18 or 8 altogether if elders remember properly?
