One of my faculty members brought to me an old data tape, for which we
have LONG since gotten rid of the relevant tape drive. He needs some
old NMR data from it.
The tape is a DC600A compatible one. It was used on an old Bruker
AMX-400 console. I actually found the tape drive, but it is not SCSI.
It's the old SMD interface, and I have nothing to connect that to. (We
upgraded our console to Avance many years ago.)
My recollection is that we simply used unix 'tar' to write data to tape,
so I should be able to recover his data easily if I could just connect
one of these drives to a linux machine and then move it to our newer
Bruker console to import the data.
Does anyone have one of these old drives that I could borrow? It would
need to be a SCSI-based DC-600 type tape drive. Or, if you have such a
drive in use, perhaps I could mail the tape to you and ask you to
extract the data.
I know this is a long shot, but this list is my last chance of getting
this done.
Thanks,
