I have 30 small (6" dia) VAX tapes (Opus 6250) and 12 large (7" dia) VAX tapes
(Scotch 700).
I believe the small tapes are 600' x 1/2" and the large tapes are 700' x
1/2".
I think they have all been written on once.
Are these worth anything to anyone?
What should I do with them? Throw them away? Give them away? List on Ebay?

Mark,
What makes these Vax tapes?
Do they have any software?
Do they have content descriptive labels?
Are they just ?RMS? filestructured user data?
Am I interested <g>?

John,
The large (700') tapes say "3M - Scotch".
The small (600') tapes say "OPUS CriticalFile".
They all come in plastic tape holders.
These tapes originally contained demo files for Tektronix 4014 terminal emulator products
my former company (Northwest Digital Systems) produced. These are data files only, no
.exe files. They were created using VMS Copy. The bit density is 1600BPI. Some of the
tapes include instructions for reading the tape. The date on this documentation is
November, 1988.
