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>

</div>Does the U of M still have any big (old) tape drives? Just curious. I<br>
thought they were cool to watch when I was there...<br>
<br>
Sounds like it might be time to put a "saved search (email)" on ebay!<br>
