How to Tell

• Some tapes from this duplicator had a print date in dark ink, which was laid out like the following examples:

Example 1:

T-80 DFI 37288 11/10/93 09:36

Example 2:

T-115 DFI 106608.01 2ND 5/3/01

• Sometimes the printings looked like this instead:

HTC-UNDERGROUND 106243.11 2ND 4/23/01

• Tapes from this duplicator do not have anything in the vertical blanking interval.
• Some tapes by this duplicator had a code with a date and a clock on the bottom of the screen at the end, similar to what CDI Media did, sticking out from the bottom of the vertical blanking interval on their tapes. This was followed by a few extra seconds of black screen, sometimes followed by a fading rainbow, following the blank space at the tail end. Tapes with these credentials do not have any form of printing on the cassette.
• Most certain tapes from either 2002 or 2003 onwards have the static roll of death at the end.
