That sounds very promising. I'll look for the maintenance manual. I think that about
the only thing that would be better would be a system where I could lift the reels and
tape out of a DECTAPE II cart without needing to transfer the media linearly or do any
splicing, but that would take a lot more effort. For me, the mechanical part would be a
lot harder than the electronic and software parts.

hopefully they don't use capstan and pinch roller drive
There is a maintenance manual on bitsavers
It is servo based with an encoder attached to a roller in contact with the tape.
The two reels are motor driven.
