Question about Tape services‏

[Alexander Sadovski]

Dear Mrs./Mr.,

I have a few 1/2" Magnetic Tape reels written by Data General 6021 Tape Drive on Nova 840.
Is it possible to read them and write ASCI content on CD for Windows 7 PC?
Please answer me by email.

Best regards,
Alexander Sadovski

I used their services in 2006 to get the data off a number of QIC
cartridges. I couriered the cartridges and they emailed back zip files (the
tapes arrived later). I was very pleased with the promptness and cost (at
the time US$35/cartridge, plus return shipping cost).

It's a bit off-topic, even off-thread: I own an old 9 track tape from
the years 80' which should still contain a bootable Amdahl UTS system, an UNIX
for IBM compatible mainframes:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl_UTS
Any chance to boot from this somewhere nowadays?
