So it seems I still have a little bit of DDS tape sitting around. I'm
pretty sure there isn't really anything on it, and when I experimented
with the stuff in the early 2000s, I never had good luck reading back
what I wrote. So, if anyone wants these tapes (maybe about 10), they can
have them. Otherwise, they may hit the bin as well.
Also, I find I have a ridiculous number of Zip disks. At least 3
dozen. I'm sure I will never need this number. The question I ponder
are A) how can I tell which are likely good and which will kill a drive.
B) does anyone want some, assuming I can find a way to make sure they
are safely erased first (I do have a Zip drive, but I will have to see
if it works).
