I've got a
stack of DC300 and DC600 tapes which I'd like to get
images, for archiving. I'd like to find a SCSI drive which can read
the tapes, so I can archive them, and hopefully make images of
some of
them available (they're install media for the Intel iPSC/860, and
ETA-10 supercomputers).
Well, I guess I get to say "never mind". It appears that the Archive
2150S I've got actually does read DC600 and DC300 tapes. :) I'm suprised that this thing has a rubber roller
that's still in good
condition, and that the thing still reads tapes.
The 2150S isn't *that* old. I'd not expect rubber goo in one of
those for another few years yet.
