QIC-80 is the format. The cartridge is DC2120. I have an entire bookshelf
full of them - backups from when I ran a bbs for years.

If you care about what's on them, read them before all of the pinch
rollers on your drives turn to goo.

Yeah, I already burned them all to CD too. Over 10 years of running a high
activity file based BBS, all comitted to CD. Well, except a few tapes of
Jpegs that I really dont care about ;)
So if anyone needs old PC software from the late 70's through the 80's, let
me know, I probably have every version :)

How many MB of data is 10 years worth or 80's PC software? I have 100+ 120mb
colorado tapes from the early 90's of stuff. Would be interesting to see a
filelist of your archive since I dont have much in the way of programs for
my Tandy 1000 HX 80's vintage XT.

You have any of the Reader's Digest Software titles? (kids games for 6502
machines like the Apple II, BBC Micro and C-64). They would have been
published around 1982-1984. I have (original) copies of a couple of titles,
but nowhere near a complete set. I still have some source code for a few of
our later products (Big Mac assembler for Apple II, Commodore assembler for
the C-64), but it's spotty.
A lost part of my past. I'd love to be able to show off what I worked on
as a kid.
