- Greetings. I have some software that I've been asked to install on our
- HP 9000/720 workstation. Alas, tha software came on HP formatted 1/4"
- tape cartridge which nothing else in the world seem to be able to read
- ("You want standards ... no problem! We got plenty of standards!")
- Does anybody know if/how one can read such tapes one non-HP equipment?
- Failing that, does anybody in the Toronto (preferably western North York)
- area have an HP 1/4" drive *and* another drive (4mm DDS format would be nice)
- *and* would be willing to copy from one to the other?
-
- This is a kind of urgent request so e-mail to any of the addresses below
- would be best.
-
- Thanks in advance for any assistance,
-
