[rescue] Looking for sun4 SunOS4 QIC tapes

[Andrew Liles]

Awesome... could I convince you to dump copies of them, or perhaps send the
tapes if you can't? I think the old 'copytape' program would preserve the
structure of the tapes, but maybe there is a better way. I have a QIC-150
drive hooked up to a SPARCstation IPC that should be able to read them.
Assuming the tensioning belt hasn't disintegrated in them...

Willing to pay reasonable costs for the tapes of course.
