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.
They are QIC-24 from the late 80s and aren’t in the “collection of tar files” format that I usually use mt fsf and dd to read. Each tape starts with a file with a “tapedir” 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?
