There are some exatron tapes on ebay right now but those are only the same
in essence, not actually the same.

That video showing the Rotronics drive also shows a drive for Commodore
that is a similar overall configuration like mine, just the case looks like
abs while the a&j is extruded aluminum. And other videos that show the
insides remove all doubt. This drive mechanism is the same as the Rotronics
and at least a couple others, but not the Sinclare microdrive or the
Exatron stringy floppy.
