<div dir="ltr">In case anyone is interested in recreating the band :) The patent for the belt driven tape cartridge is US3692255A, received from a former 3M intern who worked on testing them. The range of pretension is quite forgiving, which explains why plastibands seem to work quite well. I didnt have much luck with them. I probably got a bad batch.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Dec 3, 2024 at 10:57 AM Cameron Kelly via rescue <<a href="mailto:rescue@sunhelp.org">rescue@sunhelp.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
I have a QIC DC6150 tape that I'm looking to get the contents off of and <br>
archive, and am wondering if anyone here would be willing to offer the <br>
service, or know of anyone who does. I have a drive of my own but I've <br>
been advised to let someone who knows what they are doing, do it, since <br>
I don't have any experience using them.<br>
<br>
The tape in question is an interesting CorelDraw for UNIX tape that I <br>
found at a thrift store earlier in the year and there doesn't seem to be <br>
any dump of it online.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
