Hi Fred, It sounds very familiar. I believe I used to have one too :-) Maybe I've still got the software, jumpersettings etc. somewhere. I'll take a look this evening....

I already have about 120 tapes in the machine room (I always managed to keep those "with" all the other tapes..) which contain a lot of old software. So.. does anyone still have these drives? I can probably go and resurrect my old 286/20 machine (to which the drive was once connected ;) and install a fresh copy of DOS on that, but I probably also need the software for it... I remember I used both their "old" system (FIP, I believe) and their new stuff, EZ-TAPE I believe.... Oh.. and anyone able to feed me info on the (&(#$^(#^ AST card should report in for duty asap :) Cheers, Fred -- Fred N. van Kempen, DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation) Collector/Archivist Visit the VAXlab Project at http://www.pdp11.nl/VAXlab/ Visit the Archives at http://www.pdp11.nl/ Email: waltje(a)pdp11.nl BUSSUM, THE NETHERLANDS / Sunnyvale, CA, USA
