OK, it'll be free to a bad home too.
I've had it sat in a garage for8 or 9 years (boxed and on a small
pallet) and I'm unlikely to do anything with it any time soon and
'we' are having a clear out as the garage is being converted into
another room...
Is this of any use / interest to anyone? Was supposedly working
when I got it, but I've no way to test it.
If it's not of any use to anyone, does anyone have a spare TSV05 /
M7196 so I can at least pretend I might do something with it?
I don't have a spare, but if it helps, the TS05 is just a re-badged
Cipher F880 with the nonstandard 3200 bpi option apparently removed.
it's a pretty standard Pertec drive, so I imagine any Pertec tape
interface out there ought to work with it.
I would love one to use as a spare for my aging TS05 which is very
poorly behaved these days, but I'm an ocean away.
