I'm going to go out next week to pick up the drives, some racks and such
as I'm only about an hour away. I've spoken with the contact there
and she indicated that there are no OS, System or application tapes,
just their own proprietary data files which they've long since
transferred over to PC's as she explained.

Eek.
If those tapes contain things that are worth preserving, that would be
a bad idea. I can't tell from the original note whether "CDC/VAX"
describes the drives, or the tapes, or both. If it describes the
tapes, it may well be that they contain stuff that should be preserved
and hasn't yet been. There's an active CDC community out there that
I'm sure would want to take a look at any tapes before they are sent
to the eraser.
