I have at my desk an Unistride 2.1 distribution tape, in a QIC-24 format. This is a Unix for the Sage/Stride 4xx systems, standard QIC drive for these systems was an Archive 5945L
I read this tape on a Linux box with a Wangtek 5150ES SCSI streamer twice , and obtained the identical binary blob of ca. 6MB, no errors reported.
However the resulting binary blob reveals no readable strings inside.
What am I overlooking ?
BTW I have recovered around 70 original Sage/Stride software distribution floppies, in addition to Unistride. If anyone is still messing around with these I can put them online.
