I hope someone out there can help me - you may have a good deal to gain from this too! I have a friend who knows a guy who runs a BBS. (Or used to). The sysop gave my friend three 60MB tapes of public domain software, written on an Archive drive with 'FASTAPE' software under MS-DOS. I have a Mountain 60MB drive, and the two seem to be incompatible. BTW, these are DC-600 quarter inch tapes. Does anyone have an Archive/FASTAPE setup who would be willing to convert this software, either to floppy (I supply, formatted), or to tapes that I can read on my Mountain, or to UNIX ASCII CPIO archive. I can read the latter in on a 3B2 then download it to DOS... The lucky person doing the conversion gets to keep the original tapes if they want, and all the software on them. I'm not sure if the tapes are full, but the potential is 180MB of software. I can't really afford to *pay* to get this done, but can negotiate some kind of deal. Or does anyone have a better way of doing this? I can't afford to buy an Archive setup just to do this... ;-} ANY and ALL help appreciated! I hate to just re-use the tapes and wipe out all the goodies that must be waiting within...
