If you have access to a drive that is properly aligned, you can write a tape with long blocks of all 1's in NRZI (800 BPI) mode. That works quite well for the purpose. Reading that on a drive out of alignment will work just as well as an alignment tape. Jon

Re: head alignment tape
I agree with Paul. The most foolish part in geo-blocking is that it is trivially overcome by using one of the many VPN services. I am sure that the "bad guys" know how to use a VPN or other maybe more sinister techniques to access these types of websites. All this nonsense just hurts the innocent maybe not-so-technical guy who would like to access some not-so-important information.:-) Best regards Tom Hunter On Tue, Mar 30, 2021 at 9:13 PM Paul Koning via cctalk < cctalk@classiccmp.org> wrote: > Your website is defective: it claims to be using a "security service" to > block access.

Re: head alignment tape
Your website is defective: it claims to be using a "security service" to block access. It doesn't say what its reasons are for blocking access, so I assume the answer is "the so-called service is provided by fools". paul > On Mar 30, 2021, at 7:02 AM, Jos Dreesen via cctalk > wrote: > > > > Does this head alignment tape need saving ? > > > https://www.tutti.ch/de/vi/zuerich/computer-zubehoer/komponenten-zubehoer/5-stk-vintage-computer-tapes-memorex-pericomp-etc/43582741 > > > I'd be inclined to think that the alignment tape would suffer to same issues > as all old tapes, but then this is rare enough to be mentioned here. > > > Jos >
Re: head alignment tape
I can't see the page either. I am in Perth in Western Australia. I suspect that the website has some very coarse geo-blocking filter blocking the entire Asia-Pacific region rather than countries like China and North Korea which they actually try to target. It is just a lazy and somewhat dumb attempt at keeping the bad guys out.

Re: head alignment tape
I will never know - They use some sort of filter that prevents access from Australia. Perhaps somebody would like to post the photo and description Kindest regards, Doug Jackson em: d...@doughq.com ph: 0414 986878 Check out my awesome clocks at www.dougswordclocks.com Follow my amateur radio adventures at vk1zdj.net --- Just like an old fashioned letter, this email and any files transmitted with it should probably be treated as confidential and intended solely for your own use.

head alignment tape
Does this head alignment tape need saving ? https://www.tutti.ch/de/vi/zuerich/computer-zubehoer/komponenten-zubehoer/5-stk-vintage-computer-tapes-memorex-pericomp-etc/43582741 I'd be inclined to think that the alignment tape would suffer to same issues as all old tapes, but then this is rare enough to be mentioned here.
