Hi Giovanni I have a 8mm tape drive here (scsi) - hasn't been used for a few years but was working before I retired it. I only used it on a NT4 server using standard ntbackup. I'm not sure if that would read your tape though. hth, Steve
_____ From: Moretti, Giovanni [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 25 January 2008 3:50 p.m. To: [email protected] Subject: [DUG] Help: can anyone read 8mm Data Cartridges? 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 ===================================================================== Giovanni Moretti | Institute of Information Sciences and Technology Senior Lecturer | Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand Computer Science | Ph 64-6-3505799x2474 =Fax 64-6-3502259 == ZL2BOI ===================================================================== http://www-ist.massey.ac.nz/moretti <http://www-ist.massey.ac.nz/moretti> mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> No virus found in this incoming message.
