I have a Maynard MaynStream tape backup unit from the 1980's.
It uses audio-format cassettes with 1/4" tape, but it's a different
tape composition, and the cassette has a notch in it to tell the device
it's not just plain audio tape. The capacity was 80 MB per cassette.
I also have four ISA controller cards, four cables, and several
cassettes. We used it for backup with IBM PC/AT boxes many years ago.
Does anybody want it? It seems a shame to throw it in the e-waste bin.
At least offer it for sale!
I had a later model, which used VHS-C cassettes. I should get another
one, as I have a bunch of backup tapes and some stuff on there is
probably the only copy I own now...
