Hi, has this found a new home? If not, Is it Pertec-compatible? I live on the Peninsula and I have a pickup truck. I'll find it a hom if the alternative is landfill. thanks -Jonatahn Stone On Wednesday, September 27, 2023 at 10:05:04 PM PDT, Len Shustek via cctalk <cctalk(a)classiccmp.org> wrote: I bought this giant GCR tape drive on eBay five years ago, http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/fujitsu/_brochures/M244X_Brochure_1984.pdf hoping to be able to use it to extract analog signals from 6250 BPI tapes to feed into my decoding program. https://github.com/LenShustek/readtape I failed to figure out how to get the right signals out, and eventually abandoned the project. I now need the space it takes, so I'm offering it for free before consigning it to the landfill. It's big (20" x 24" x 30" on the wheeled stand I built) and heavy (160 lbs) so I won't ship it. Pickup only, on the San Francisco peninsula.
