I have a box of 9-track tapes (total weight is 65 lbs) - 27 x 2400' 3M Black Watch No.700 6250 CPI - 1 x 1200' Scotch 700 6250 CPI - 3 x 1200' Graham Magnetics Epoch 480 - 2 x write-enable rings The whole lot is available for free if you pay for the shipping (or pick them up in Albuquerque). I would prefer to send all the tapes at once rather than sending single tapes to people. If you are interested, please contact me at cfnelson_87111 at yahoo.com. If no one is interested, they are going in the media disposal box at work. By the way, I read the entire set twice using different tape drives (both were Sun-labelled HP 88780 drives). A byte-for-byte comparison showed not a single changed bit for the sets (>1 Gbyte of data)that were read 5 years apart. I found that somewhat amazing for tapes that are at least 15 years old and have not been in special storage. Maybe writing the data at only 1600 bpi made them more reliable (originally written by a Masscomp UNIX system using a Cipher F880 tape drive). __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
