Someone asks: "I?ve 2-3 old 8mm DAT tapes from my sun workstation that I used to back up my sun workstations. I purchased a 8mm drive (along with a scsi controller, cables, etc) to read the stuff, but was only able to recover a bit of the data from them."

...

Does someone have the hardware and/or knowledge to recover this for this individual?

Jeff, I have an Exabyte 8705 drive and several Suns that support it, so I should be able to help. I have some questions however. Feel free to pass along my contact info.

OK. Done. FYI the guy who is inquiring co-wrote SATAN (Security Administrator Tool for Analyzing Networks ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_Administrator_Tool_for_Analyzing_Netw... ).

thanks, Jonathan
