[cctalk] Re: 5 1/4" and 3.5" disk duplication machines

I definitely do.  I rebuilt a Trace ST8000 last year and got it up and
running.   I also built a 5.25" duplicator with 12 drives a few months
back.   I'd love to find a commercial 5.25" duplicator.

I have a Qualstar 3412 that I've used with Depot4.   I last used this on a
386 running DOS 6.22, a Trantor SCSI card and SCSIWorks! as the ASPI
driver.

Several versions of EZTape are on Minus as well.

There is a TFORMAT.COM in the 1.13 version.

[cctalk] Re: Source for NEW (unused) punch tape

2023-06-08 Thread Travis Pierce via cctalk
I have a few saved searches on eBay.   I think these are not a bad price.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/392994905002

My GNT4601 punches the guide holes and uses unperforated tape too.
