I was contacted recently someone at WPI who had been
approached
about reading an old DECtape. They no longer have the DEC-10
at WPI, so need to find someone with working DECtapes who might
be able to read the tape...
If anyone has a working DECtape drive on their system, please
let me know so I can pass it on...
If you don't find somebody closer, you could try Max Burnet in Australia
(http://www.acms.org.au/burnet-max.shtml). He has an extraordinary
collection of DEC machines, arguably the best in the world, and - as this
web-page puts it - "plans to use his museum collection to provide for
porting of old media" along with its other historical and educational
uses. He's also a hell of a nice guy, which certainly provides many points
in his favor. :) :)
