OK, it'll be free to a bad home too.
I've had it sat in a garage for8 or 9 years (boxed and on a small
pallet) and I'm unlikely to do anything with it any time soon and
'we' are having a clear out as the garage is being converted into
another room...
Is this of any use / interest to anyone? Was supposedly working
when I got it, but I've no way to test it.
If it's not of any use to anyone, does anyone have a spare TSV05 /
M7196 so I can at least pretend I might do something with it?
Before anyone asks, shipping this is not an option...

Apologies for the shocking way the web based mail client formatted this...

I don't have a spare, but if it helps, the TS05 is just a re-badged
Cipher F880 with the nonstandard 3200 bpi option apparently removed.
it's a pretty standard Pertec drive, so I imagine any Pertec tape
interface out there ought to work with it.
I would love one to use as a spare for my aging TS05 which is very
poorly behaved these days, but I'm an ocean away.

I am in Manchester, not sure if I have space for it though. Is it the whole
of a cabinet, or just one part of it? Will be away for a bit now, let me
know if you still have it in a couple of weeks, I could at least take a
look, but won't promise to take it.
Regards
Rob

If its actually on a pallet
shipping in the UK is certainly possible.
And although I live in Manchester and am very interested I have no where
to store it myself. There are at least three of us on this list in
Manchester so perhaps we need to get together and look at having some
shared location we can we can have working kit....
