I should have posted this years ago.
But does anyone on the list have or know someone (company or individual)
that has a Magtape (reel) drive that can read an old Vax Magtape?
I have about a half dozen tapes I'd like to get the data off, and it seems like a lost
art.
I'm not about to try and restore my uncles Wabash PDP hard disk though (external disk
pack)
I'd be willing to pay a small fee for time/trouble, though I'm not made of money.
I'd rather trade equipment if there's something you need (sparc?) :)

Contact me directly. I am in Toronto and I might have a working 9 track.
Look me up at 411.ca - 2 Inglis Gate.
My wife often sleeps late, so call me in the afternoon on Monday.
Sincerely yours,
