   Anyone have the resources to read this half inch 1600 bpi tape from 1987?

   It's a backup tape of J. M. Hill's (Univ of AZ, Astronomy) FORTH drive, dated 20 sep 1987.

   Probably nothing earth shattering on the tape. Seven inch reel with 2 cm (thickness) on it, probably one megabyte.

   Even raw block dumps would would be ok.

   No idea what hardware it might be from. Probably not hard to figure out.

   I don't need the artifact back.
