Hi Trevor,
There are no reel drives left in the UofM IST machine room (not sure about storage or other faculties). Those drives may have even been gone pre-y2k as the mainframe stuff was all on some sort of stacking tape (dont know the format) for some years before that.

Does the U of M still have any big (old) tape drives? Just curious. I thought they were cool to watch when I was there...
Sounds like it might be time to put a "saved search (email)" on ebay! _______________________________________________ Roundtable mailing list Roundtable@muug.mb.ca http://www.muug.mb.ca/mailman/listinfo/roundtable
