Pilgrimage: Utah's annual demoparty

My memory is failing again. It's been maybe 15 years since I last fooled
with QIC02-interfaced drives and I'm trying to avoid doing homework that
I've probably done years ago.
I've got two QIC02 drive setups. One's a Tandberg TDC3650 drive connected
to a Alliance Technology ISA half-card.
The other's a Cipher CP125BA connected to a Wangtek 5150.
I'm guessing that the Wangtek card supports hardware compression (it's got
an 8085 on it), while the Alliance looks to be pretty minimalist.
So here's what I'm wondering. Without preferring any particular data
format (e.g. tar), what x86 platform has the best support for these things?
Linux? Xenix? MS-DOS? OS/2? Windows?
I've got the distinct feeling that I've been here before, but I can't
recall what I discovered.
Can anyone help me slice through the mental fog?
Thanks,
Chuck

This auction is going on right now with lots of individual boards in
the asset catalog. I didn't notice it until now, but many items are
expiring in the next couple of hours. Boards are things like:
- Motorola VME boards
- Tektronix logic analyzer boards
- older IBM PC boards (all ISA so far)
- Test equipment modules
- Data I/O programming modules
- Data acquisition boards
You'll have to browse individual lots to see all the stuff that's in
there.
A bunch have opening bids of $5, which is the lowest opening I've seen on
dovebid (most stuff opens at $50).
As always, caveat emptor, but if you collect design, test or
programming equipment, this looks like a good auction.

Do not contact me, this is from:
Bill Gronberg - wildwillieg at msn.com
"I have a CPU side panel tag for an IBM 3168, a top
bar for an IBM 370, a '70s floor puller, a computer
room self contained temperature gauge with a box of
the circular paper discs.
Lastly a never used (still in the sealed plastic bag
in the original box)-from a 1961 GE210 computer-a
3/4", 7 track, pre-blocked tape weighing in at 9
pounds in the canister. There is also an extra
canister."

We purchased a new CT scanner to match the one we currently have. The original has a SGI computer inside, running some type of UNIX, the newer one came with some type of Windows.
How about a little radiation controlled by your computer?
