Rich,
Thanks for the info.
What is the best software for imaging these tapes ?
My DEC tabletop tape drive is SCSI interface, and I could connect it to
almost anything (PC with Linux/Solaris/Windows, Mac with OS9/OSX, Sparc,
SGI, etc).
The tapes were not stored in an ideal environment (humidity probably
not bad, but temps of up to 90+ on and off for 20+ years), so I figure
I'll hopefully have at least one shot to get these imaged... so I want
to pick the right stuff before I try to read those tapes.
Thanks,
-- Curt

What is the best way to image these, preserving
their contents ?
Also, what software will put these in a format I
can use with an
emulator ?
The best software for imaging the tapes will automagically put them
into a format usable by SimH and KLH10. The question is, what do you
have to drive your tape drive? (I use an M4 9914 drive on a Toad-1,
but that's not an option for most people. :-)
