Does anyone have the capability to read 3480 tapes? Ideally, I'm looking
for someone in the Silicon Valley area who has the capability.
Thanks!

I can read 1600bpi 2400' (or smaller) reels and put them on cd-rom.
But I'm in Boston... (fedex?)
I'm in the market for a desktop 800/1600/6250 scsi 9-track drive if anyone
has one.

I have 2 Qualstar 3412S's and 1 M4 9914. All are in good shape.
The drives are still in my inventory, so I cant sell the too cheap.

Errr.... IBM's 3480 tapes aren't reel-to-reel, they're a similar form
factor to DLT (but a different encoding).

3480s are not 9 track - I think they are 18 track.
I still have to put my 3480s together.

Yep, 3480's are 18 track, and 3490's are 36 track, and come in cassettes.
Reel-to-reel tapes come in a variety of model names, but the one that
springs to mind is the 3420 tape drive, but for the life of me I cant
remember what they were called on 360's. 2450?? The 2540 was a
cardreader/-puncher

sellam,
email me if you still have a need, I have some sources with hercules attached
3480 tapes that could convert them to AWS for you, or could see if they
have means to process them in whatever manner you need.
I am in the process or getting a fujitsu drive, but anticipate some teething
problems before I have it online. in a month if you still are in need,
I may have it online.
