I have a friend with a R/S Model II running P&T CP/M. He also has seven reels of 2400' 9-TRK 1600 BPI tape data he needs to read to extract selected records to build a database. He has already used a tape-to-disk conversion service to convert one tape at a cost of $50/hr for four hours of conversion time. At that rate, he now figures he should be able to invest in buying the hardware he would need to do the conversion himself, break even now, and be ahead for future conversions. The question is: who still makes such hardware for his machine? --Frank
