I was moving some boxes in the basement tonight and found something that was recently mentioned on the list - TU-58s of VMS 3.2 through VMS 3.5! I also found my 4.2BSD tapes, and at least one System III tape for the 11/780 along with plenty of Ultrix tapes, Ultrix 32M (on RX-50 for MicroVAX-I) and MicroVMS 4.2. The basement is, as one would expect of a midwestern basement, not bone dry. Some of the tapes show traces of white mold on the edges. I will be, therefore, attempting to read these tapes forthwith. My only functioning 1600 bpi tape drive is presently a TU-80. I could go to a friend's house and try to use his SCSI magtape if that made sense. -ethan ===== Visit "The Seventh Continent" http://penguincentral.com/penguincentral.html __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
