A colleague of mine has some research data that exists only as an
archive on an 8mm data cartridge.
You know the story - support staff back it up and give him the tape. He
(not unreasonably) assumes that if he gives them back the tape they
would recover his data. Years pass, they junk all the older equipment
...
I know it's a long shot but can anyone read data from a
8mm-DL 112M Computer Grade Data Cartridge.
If you'd be prepared to dump the contents onto a CD/DVD/FTP site
(whatever's easiest for you), he'd be enormously grateful.
The tape was written (we think) using some form of DEC Unix/Ultrix and
is (I hope) in TAR format. Any form of dump would be better than a
cartridge and no reader :-)
Thanks
Giovanni
