I received a couple of DC6250 backup tapes this
morning. While writing a
program to unravel the backup format looks to be pretty simple, I'd like to
know what created these beasts. They're from a Windoze box circa 1995.
The "GENERATION" right at the start might be a hint.
Here's a dump of the first few bytes of a tape, hex on the left, ASCII on
the right:
000000 47 45 4E 45 52 41 54 49-4F 4E 20 EC E9 C6 F3 F4 GENERATION
PC Fastback from Fifth Generation Systems is what comes to mind.
