found as part of the stack saved from an engineers estate: Tandem
Computers cartridge tapes and docs
Cartridges are appox 4x4x1 and the tape appears to be half inch. Some
are in boxes marked "Cartridge Tape CT-130" All have labels indicated
they are Tandem Computers "Site Update Tapes" with 1988, 89, and 90
dates. Cursory google produced nothing. Secondary label on one
cartridge would seem to indicate they are used for software
distribution.
Sounds like DLT tapes.
Similar shape and overall size but the shutter and leader hook are
different
The only other format I know of that era that comes close is IBM 3480, but
that¹s less square, more like 5² x 4². Do you have pictures online
somewhere?
I did a very cursory google but didn't find anything. I'll take some
photos tonight and post them.
