All, My division of SwRI is getting rid of a large pile (appx. 1000) 9-track tapes. They are 8 inch and 10 inch sized reels, 1600 to 6250 bpi, Scotch Black Watch 777 brand (for the most part). I'm going to collect all the ones headed for the trash, stack them in my office, and either put them in the right hands or transfer them to the dumpster a few at a time if no-one is interested. Please contact me off-line (mtapley(a)swri.edu) if you are willing to pay shipping in order to have some of these show up at your door. I'm in San Antonio, Texas, USA, zip code 78238, for purposes of calculating postage. Data on the tapes is probably NASA satellite data; it need not and will not be erased, so you can peruse it or erase the tape at your convenience. - Mark
