Out of interest, what's the market for unused, still-sealed magtape (9 track,
2400ft*, 6250bpi) like? I got hold of a few reels the other week and can't
decide whether we should just put them to use them as/when necessary, or use
them to raise funds for other museum projects...
* well, near as I can tell. The scale on the reel goes from zero to 2000 in
increments of 400 and is some way over the 2000 mark; I'm assuming it's feet!
(did anyone ever sell magtape > 2000ft that *wasn't* 2400ft in length?)
thanks
Jules
