    Well, I need to dig up a program to read the tapes... I found 2 old
    DOS programs (Symantec's, and Colorado Backup) but one barfs on the
    tapes and the other complain that its the 2nd in a set, for all 3
    tapes that I have... had my parents look at home for some other
    tapes...

    If there are files on them, I probably downloaded them to my PC, so
    probably just in plain ASCII format, but not really sure...
