From: Alan Perry <<a href="mailto:alanp@snowmoose.com" target="_blank">alanp@snowmoose.com</a>><br>Subject: [rescue] Getting QIC tapes images<br><br>
I seem to have found a working combination of drive and replacement's bands to be able to get images of the dozens of Computervision install tapes that I have.<br>
<br>
They are QIC-24 from the late 80s and aren\u2019t in the \u201ccollection of tar files\u201d format that I usually use mt fsf and dd to read. Each tape starts with a file with a \u201ctapedir\u201d record with permission and other stuff, followed by a bunch of records that look like a number followed by a topic or title. What am I looking at and what do I use to get the info off of the tape?<br>
