Just catching up on some old messages. Jason, I should be able to help you with the QIC tape you mentioned below. I've done fairly extensive work reading data on QIC tapes of all kinds, without having access to the original hardware that wrote them, or even was designed to read them. For reference: http://QICreader.com I would love to come to Festivus one of these days...it's a bit of a trip for me though... Regardless, drop me a line, let me know how I can help you! If you don't get a fast response from me here, email me at the address I show on http://qicreader.blogspot.com/p/contact.html Thanks!

The planets aligned, and it looks like I'll be able to make it to Festivus this year :D
I have a QIC tape that has the OS for the TI MicroExplorer LISP card I got a few years back... and no way to read it. It's Mac formatted somehow. Does anyone have something that could read this tape?
I've also got some somewhat degraded LaserDiscs from 1979 that don't play in my 1990s player. If someone has one of the original machines with a helium neon laser tube I'd love to see if the discs are salvageable.
Thanks!
