An IBM729 Mark 5 tape drive grabbed the data for NASA.
I presume that this implies NASA had tried and failed to find such a
drive via IBM?
Good to see that some old tapes retain their data!

:?) I was about to post that link, too.
I suspect that the museum might welcome contacts from anyone with
experience of restoring such elderly kit - it sounds from the news
story that they are rather daunted by the task!
