Hello,

Does anybody have a need for some tape drives?

I have a (2 gig I think) SCSI Exabyte drive here with 6 112M tapes I also have a Tandberg 525MB tape drive, also SCSI and 2 full A4 paper boxes of tapes.

The Tandberg drive worked when I tried it recently but it's so long along since I used the Exabyte that I have no idea if it works.

Finally, I have 6 Sony QW 2GB tapes. They are labelled as 1GB Native, 2 GB Compressed. The tapes are slightly smaller than the Exabyte tapes and were a gift from somebody that thought I might be able to find a home for them! They're brand new, some still with shrinkwrap on them.

As part of the gift, I was also given an Adaptec 2940AU SCSI PCI card. That also works as I used it to try the Tandberg.

I'll split the lots so if you only want some of the tapes, or the drives, that's fine. Management (my wife) is telling me that I need to get shot of this lot. I'm in Wymondham in Norfolk but work on the outskirts of Norwich so I might be able to drop some of it off if needbe.

I am interested,

Im in ipswich however, so meeting up may be a problem.
