Eek.
If those tapes contain things that are worth preserving, that would be
a bad idea. I can't tell from the original note whether "CDC/VAX"
describes the drives, or the tapes, or both. If it describes the
tapes, it may well be that they contain stuff that should be preserved
and hasn't yet been. There's an active CDC community out there that
I'm sure would want to take a look at any tapes before they are sent
to the eraser.
