OT - Old Backup Tape Hardware

Shortly before xmas 1998 I backed up a pc using a portable (briefcase
sized) backup device. Five years later, it seems that one file I could
do with is on that tape, but we no longer have the hardware to read
it!

The tape is a 3M DC 6525 525 MB. Physical size is 150x100x16 mm.

Google offers this http://www.buyrate.net/dartek/16169.htm

Is there anyone who could copy the tape onto a CD in return for a few
beer tokens?

Sorry for OT

Doh! I binned one of those drives last week as I couldn't get the
tapes for it any more and didn't think anyone would want it.

Sorry about that

I think I know where there is one of those currently not being used.

I'll go borrow it - if it works, I'll do the transfer for you.

I got my hands on the drive about an hour ago. I'll try to fit it in a
machine tonight & see if it works...

Fingers crossed!

Vic.

Just another reason why I like UKRS - come up with the most bizarre, off the
wall, leftfield tekkie request and there is always someone ready with a "you
know... I saw one of those just the other day..."

....now, anyone got a reverse-threaded scrunge niblick handy?

funny you should say that but I threw one away just yesterday - I though
