[lug] 8mm video vs. data tapes

[Viggy]

I dunno, but I do know that the reverse is possible.  I grabbed some 8mm 
data carts that we were going to throw out here at work, and use them in my 
8mm camcorder.

The only thing that I would worry about when using 8mm camcorder tapes in a 
data drive is the tape quality.  My understanding is that tapes that fail 
the "data" test are then tested for "camcorder" quality...  I could be 
wrong, however...
