On the Tapeheads site they are trying to petition Maxell to resume making UDXLII for cassette and RTR.......Last I checked, they had scarcely a hundred signatures.....At that rate, it aint gonna happen.

Oh, well...........

last i heard, quantegy has gone down twice and has yet to come back up for a third time at bat. leaving only rgmi and atr.

"We at Quantegy would like to thank you for your patience while we continue to work on reintroducing 456, 499 and GP9. We do not and will not release anything that is not up to the standards of Quantegy tape. Please continue to check back here for further updates."
