Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org } An example: I have two 9-track tapes from my student days at CMU, both } about 15 years old. It would be a major effort for me now to track down } a 9-track tape drive that I could use to transfer the data to a medium } that I could use on a modern PC or workstation. It would not be worth } buying such a drive, and most shops without legacy hardware or the } need to interoperate with same would own one. } There is a large number of companies that will copy your 9-track tapes to a wide array of other media. Simple and reasonably priced. Richard To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
