We're succesfully dumping the DG/UX tapes we have here. :) we had a lot of problem due to "Sticky shed syndrome": the tape stick to the head, causing the tape to lock while reading data ... cooking tapes will be a solution, but we followed another idea: we used a special Teflon Lubricant Spray (here in italy is "CRC TEFLON PENLUB SPRAY" this is PERFECT for tapes - we had to rewind the tape spraying the lubricant on the tape. this cause no problems at all, and we red sticky tapes without problems! the tape images are here: http://zaverio.net/eclipse/stuff/TAPE-IMAGES/ i don't know if there is (C) on those tapes - and really, i don't care about it. I think preserving them is a MISSION for us, and, so, here are the images. happy hacking! :) -- [ asbesto : IW9HGS : freaknet medialab : radiocybernet : poetry ] [ http://freaknet.org/asbesto http://papuasia.org/radiocybernet ] [ http://www.emergelab.org :: NON SCRIVERMI USANDO LE ACCENTATE ] [ *I DELETE* EMAIL > 100K, ATTACHMENTS, HTML, M$-WORD DOC, SPAM ]
