I was searching the archives and it seemed quite a bit of the optical drives are not serial. The drive on the machine has a 25 pin plug that plugs into the BTR and then to the machine computer. The only time the tape drive is used is when we have a power failure, to load the OS. I'd like to "dump" the OS tape(s) to a notebook and load it from there. Sound possible?
Thanks!
