I can read/write a freshly formatted tape fine so I'm guessing it's the tapes. I have 2 that are readable and 1 that I know I can write too. but as Murphy would have it, the bbs backup is on one of the few I can't seem to get any data off.
I use to keep nightly's (7) and a weekly backup but I think the
original nightly tapes got overwritten a couple of years after I shut it all down. :(
Never the less, I'm having fun rebuilding it. Just need to find more free time to put into drawing up the ANSI screens.
