NF6X's latest activity

I would like to hang on to these LINCtapes for now. I still dream (probably in vain) of getting a matching computer for them. :) Dang...

I’m interested in making unobtanium read/write heads for DECtape/LINCtape, as well as other silliness.

Over in this post NF6X came up with a really interesting idea, that I think is worth its own thread. (I, at least, am fascinated by this...

I would so love to know more about this. I think it deserves its own thread, so I started one.

Oh, by the way: That same eBay seller had a couple more of the blue-cased presumably-LINCtapes as of this morning, if somebody else...

If I could get my hands on even a good DECtape drive head, I think I could make at least a read-only imager. The electronics would be in...

I have neither plans nor ability to overwrite them at this time. In any case, I would archive their contents before considering...

I've been watching that case of DECtapes on eBay, too. It's tempting, but my excitement is tempered by my limited hope of finding a...

Apparently, the three tapes I have are all LINCtapes, possibly from a PDP-12 system. Neat...

The PDP-12 System Reference Manual says: The TC12-F option (prewired) in conjunction with the PRTC12-F program extends the TC12...

Those are almost certainly LINCtape. The directory listings for the right two appear to be DIAL running on a PDP-12. I seem to recall...

That is exciting. These tapes are probably as close as I’ll ever get to owning a PDP-12.

I recently got three DECtape reels from eBay auctions. One is in a green LINCtape case, and the other two are in blue DECtape cases. I...
