        I've just found a tape I recovered some time ago from the
trash. It realy looks old. Tape dimensions: 1/2 inch, density 6250dpi,
reel exterior diameter 8 1/2 inches, reel internal hole 95mm. What
might it be?

        I have a QIC tape drive and a DEC TZ30 tape drive. Is there
any chance (I mean, any chance at all, no matter how crazy) to hack a
way of reading it with the those tape drives? Just wondering...

        Cheers,
