Hiya all. I found 6 tapes from my old BBS and data and I want to restore t data from them. They are from 1992-1997 low density.

I remember backing up the data with colorado backup software. Anybody know there is some modern tapedrive which can be used with USB to restore them?

Fingers crossed..

Do you guys remember above post from a while ago?

Well, good news! I got the tapes read and got thousands of files from my bulletin board back.

Initially I bought the hardware to read the tapes myself but I did not want to take the chance losing anything, so I send them to the US to got them read. Now I have the originals back I can continue the challenge to set up my hardware and try to read them also.

The files range in the categories HPAVC, Comms, Gfx, Music, 13+ Fulll Group Distro (HQ), Programming.

All from 1992 up to 1996 from the Dutch (Netherlands) Scene. I got the first batch of HPAVC files online on my board.

If you want a snif please dail to bbs.theforze.eu ^^.

So happy here, many memories coming back browsing through them.
oP!

Did you happen to get back message bases as well?

I'd love to store those messages in clrghouz - but even more, I'm keen to see what my BBS was up to during that time :)

Unfortunately I only backed up the file bases.
