How can I read a reel-to-reel tape from the 1970s?
- by Joe Wreschnig
A close friend of my mother worked at DEC in the 1970s and 1980s. She recently passed away, and in sorting through her estate, my mother discovered some reel-to-reel magnetic tape. We are curious about what might be on it. I haven't yet seen a picture of it, but Wikipedia tells me this is most likely DECtape.
Is there any chance the data on it is…
