I just c= losed on this auction: https://www.ebay.com/itm/267254963191 After the link is an action for a set of 17 Sony QD-600A tapes featuring va= rious backups from at least one machine named Zeus. The listing indicates they w= ere property of a former Western Electric engineer. At least one tape has a la= bel indicating a full /usr backup. My hope is that something downstream of the= BTL internal version of System V might be living amongst these tapes, but eithe= r way I was wondering if anyone here with access to the correct tape drive would = be willing to assist with ripping these tapes? I can also start hunting down = a drive but figured I'd ask around first. I'm not currently spotting a drive= on eBay but have a few other places I can ask around. Thanks for any input! - Matt G.
