We're running a 2200/601 and just recently our 5073 tape controller crashed which prevents us from using our 3480 HICL tapes. Does anyone know anyone that would repair/service the 5073 or know of a firm that could convert these tapes to CD/DVD? Thanks in advance. Mike Kidd 301.468.3765

Running a 2200/601 today? Is this system used in some computer history context?

Just curious,

Wow. If I had a SCSI-connected 3480-class tape drive, I'd do it... but I don't.
