I have some old streamer tape cartridges (DC6150). The "good ones" I can just pop into my Wangtek 5150ES drive and do a
and then I am able to read them.
But some are not "good ones". So before I thrash them, I would like to have a go at making them operable again, at least so I can try to read any data off them.
Is there a better way than just winding them by hand?
(winding them by hand works, but takes forever)
Code:
mt -f /dev/sa0 retension
