- On the subject of tape drives, I just acquired a Colorado Memory Systems
- tape drive, but have no software for it, nor a way to determine the tape size.
- I have the drive, and controller card. The card has the connections marked
- 'from floppy controller', 'to floppy drives', 'to tape drive', and a 37 pin
- D-type connector on side. It all seems pretty straight forward, execpt for
- the 37 pin D connector. I can't find any markings on the drive, saying what
- size tapes it takes, all I can find is the serial number and rev, which are
- S/N 0091224L and FW REV: 36. I don't know if you can tell the size from that,
- but that's all I've got. Also, does anyone know where I might be able to
- purchase tapes for it, as I didn't get one with the drive.
-
- Thanks in advance.
