Anything SCSI? I have Tandberg 525MB tape drive with an A4 box full of tapes which I'd like to dispose of.
Thank you for your kind offer.
Not conversant with that device, but to this collector of ancient things, it sounds rather earlier than anything I have in use.
I am at a loss to think what one would use the tape drive for now that hard discs have arrived...
Please enlighten me!
It was used for backup on the controller of a high volume laser printer but they were also used for the odd mainframe task.
As for age, I think it was first used in the mid 80's.
