Subj: REPLY TO MSG #6112 (TAPE RECOVERY TECHNIQUES)
Thanks, Rick, Well, luckily I know the name of the file I am looking for, and I actually had the wit to label my cassette tape this time! Nevertheless, the T tells me "SKIP filename" even though the file name it says it is skipping is the one I know I want. Grrrr. Thanks for checking on me, though, you never know! And the test save and reload was on the same physical tape I'm having trouble with... except on side B of the tape. So maybe side A has some defective coating or wrinkled edge or... who knows. Well, Rick, thanks for the offer to retrieve the files but it's not really worth your time. I am mainly trying to rescuscitate my tape system because of my PDD2 failure. I do plan to keep the CCR-82 and my programs on tape however, just as a backup system. Which brings us back to the TPDD2 again... yes, do let me know if you run across one in your inventory! (I did run into a guy on CompuServe who is asking a buddy of his about my disk drive, however, so maybe I have one last chance to revive it.) Regards, and thanks again for your help, ... Paul
