Hi Jim,
I have a 9track drive hooked to my old Sun IPX which may be able to read your tape.
I am in Valapraiso IN if you are up for a drive.
Best,

Hi,
I have been lurking for a few years, but thought I'd finally speak up
as I just received a 9 track tape purportedly containing the source
code to Schoonschip (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schoonschip). This
is a 2400' reel recorded at 1600 bpi based on the labels, and a
cursory examination suggests that it is still in pretty good shape
(although I am not sure how it was stored over the years). Here is a
picture of the tape:

We no longer have any equipment that can read the tape, so I was
wondering if anyone may be willing to help or if anyone had
suggestions on where to go to get it read. Thanks!
