Subject: Rescue of data from Pioneer 10 & 11 tapes at JPL needed.
Unfortunately, this data is stored on hundreds of
ancient
nine-track tapes
Are there any list members interested in assisting in the transfer
of this data to "more modern media"?
Yep, I make my living from projects like that.
It will not be a problem to copy the data; but I dont have the foggiest idea
whether the data is "decodeable". The best way to save the data, is to get a
copy of the program which wrote the data in the first place. I have the
funny feeling that the data is written in _huge_ blocks.
