We do Google. You can do Google. If someone hasn't pointed you to a
web site within about fifteen seconds of your post, there isn't one.
Nor do I expect there to be.

Look at the transport. Do you see something that might want to poke
into a notch in a cassette? If you do, put a notch there. I'll bet if
you poke at things, you can see an indicator change, indicating that
there's a digital tape inserted.

Or if someone can reffer me to a picture of a modified tape, even
better!

Maybe it would be best to find a picture of a real tape and copy that.

**** it, better to order real DCC tapes and be done with it. I'm almost
willing to erase all my old, only use once tapes (yeah, right) and sell them
to him for pennies on the dollar to shut him up. It reminds me of us
cutting knotches in 5 1/4" floppies so we could get another 180 KB of
storage from the backside but the cost of actually getting some DCC tapes
that will record for 45 minutes per direction is less than those 5 1/4"
floppies at the time. At least we had a real financial interest.

I never did that, but I used to tape over the "permanent" (no sliding
shutter) write protect holes in 3-1/2" floppys that contained demo
programs so I could recycle them. This was back when 5-1/4" disks were
down to around a dime a piece, but the new 3-1/2" ones were around a
buck (before rebates, of course).

Then AOL would send you a free 3.5" every other week or so, bless their
hearts.

The only time I ever bought any, the rebate was more than the purchase
price. Aren't CDRs supposed to be getting about that cheap now? $0.20
is highway robbery!
