Emtec, formerly BASF magnetics, here in Europe is at present unable to
deliver any magnetic tape at all.

They had cashflow problems in the beginning of this year and couldn´t
pay their sources of raw material.

No one from a reliable source can tell if they will ever come back
again.

After half a year of zero product no one over here believes they will
come back.

If this is true then we only hace Quantegy left as the sole world wide
producer of magnetic tape.

I wonder for how long??
