I wonder if anyone can give me suggestions on the "best" way to get data (not
all that much) off of some old 9-track tapes I have. They are all written
with tar, on BSD 4.1-4.3 and BSD 2.8-2.9. If I was smart, the tapes are all
written at 800 or 1600 bpi; I may not have been, and one or more may be at
6250 (?) bpi.
I would be delighted to hear two types of offers: (1) someone in the Denver
area who has the proper hardware and software, and to whom I can bring the
tapes and some other medium (1.4/2.8 meg floppy; 100 meg zip) and extract the
files; (2) someone with the proper hardware and software who would be willing
for me to ship them the tapes, and make the data (tar files) available to me
via ftp. I would certainly entertain other reasonable possibilities, as well.
Thanks in advance. (This must not be a terribly uncommon "problem," right?)
