I wanted to buy/try some new manufactured tapes, but all I could find was Ferric Oxide, Type I. I have never had very good luck with Type I cassette tapes.

I know some claim that they are almost as good as Type II, but that hasn't been my experience.

I found a company up in Canada that has some Maxell XLII-S pancakes that they can put into a new cassette shell. Anywhere from 1 minute to 94 minute lengths. I bought a few and they seem to perform the exact same as the NOS Maxell XLII-S tapes I already have.

PLEASE post back if you indeed try some of the new tape. I'd be rather curious to get your take on it...
