Hi Trevor,<div><br></div><div>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.</div>

Sounds like it might be time to put a &quot;saved search (email)&quot; on ebay!<br>
