Subject: Xebec Hard Sector Floppy System and Tennecomp Tape Drive
Also, I haven't yet played with it, but I also have a Tennecomp tape drive
that uses radio-station-style 4-track "carts" to store data on serially. I
unfortunately do not have the controller card for it, hence my inability to
do much with it. I do have some tapes for it, however.
Thanks,
Kyle
The computer museum at the University of Stuttgart has a working Tennecomp
tape drive connected to their Straight-8 and another newer 8. The RCS/RI
group has a Tennecomp tape drive on their 8/I, but it is in unknown
condition.
