I'd really hate to see the cartridges destroyed - they are not making new ones. Also, Bulk erasing will ruin the servo information recorded on the media.
Not to worry Mike! Dean is on the case to contact the donor to see about how to remove the data and keep the cartridges. Funny thing is that Andy found your webpage when he was doing research two days ago. We are doing our best to get a working system locally to read from these cartridges, not just for the donated ones, but others in the future.
I'm deeply relieved to hear this. Excellent work. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
