Neat.
The software mentioned in the article sounds very interesting. It talks about
starting with digital data streams from the 9 heads, but adds that you can
start with analog data too. That would be a small change: you'd basically have
to add the slicer in software. That's potentially valuable, if the signals are
marginal so the threshold needs to adjust on the fly.
Obviously this can also be adapted to other tape formats, for example 7 track
tapes. Or esoteric stuff like 10 track tapes.
Thanks for that link!
