I sent this over to the rescue list as well - it's probably borderline OT here, but I
figured it's worth a shot - so apologies if you get this twice.
I need to read some full size QIC tape cartridges that were written in an unknown format,
but the tapes themselves are the ones intended for the 2 gig drives. I'm not sure if
they're compressed, or what density they were actually written at, but since these
things are at least somewhat backward compatible, the 4/8 gig drive should be able to read
them too. Anyone have one of these drives they could part with? Note that theses are the
full size (DC) QIC carts, not the smaller "floppy-tape" ones.
