Comment: I've got several tapes (3M DC2120 Rhomat) formatted for Irwin-80. They were used in a IBM PS/2 Tape backup and written with PCtools Central Point Backup. I'd like to transfer the data off some how and need some advice. Ideally I'd be able to find a tape drive capable of reading Irwin-80 formatted DC2120 tapes and a copy of PCtools backup to retrieve the data. Unfortunately, I don't know where to look. Any ideas?

Reply: (edit)Try EBay - I picked up one about a year ago which is still going well - they're old technology now so they go cheaply enough & tend to be very reliable. "I know that I'm mad - I've always been mad..."
