Rooting around my vast pile of computer junk and I found this. I don't know how I got this, or, perhaps more to the point I don't have the tapes but you can apparently buy them on Ebay. :shock:

I have some interesting very old tapes in the loft, think they are VAX tapes. I have an appointment up there this weekend, I'll take a pic. Hopefully they are worth millions..
