AHA! Back on topic. They sold you both, and it worked, and it was pretty open-standard. Another Sun-(kina-sorta-related) question - have a Sun labeled Archive 150MB QIC, and I was trying to read some of the CV tapes that Josh had, but I was having big problems with errors and the tape going slack. I've been trying to figure out what's up, as his QIC24 60-meg is reading them just fine. Any ideas? (the roller is in good health)
