Hi all,
I just bought this Burroughs BU4400 tape drive:
https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1999913439
As the seller says, Google comes up empty. Seems strange, I would have
expected some reference somewhere. Does anyone know anything about it?
I'm going to pick it up this evening. It'd be superb as a display piece,
but I'd be really keen to drive it with something and get it reading and
writing.
On that topic, are there any suggestions on how I could get my hands on
a few tapes, preferably with a format this drive can read? The actual
contents aren't important; even blanks would be OK, though not being
able to get it reading before moving on to writing would make the
project more difficult.
Cheers,
Mike
