Tom,

I learned of that website some time ago, maybe it was You who
told me about it.

I could not afford having Data Recovery Masters do 30+ conversions
for me, that's why I've been asking everyone I met who knew anyone
that fooled with older computing gear to ask for me if someone local
still had the means to read my data and get it off the cartridges.

Last week I asked a neighbor if he would ask the people in the
IT deptartment where he works about SyQuest Drives.

Sunday he came over with a printout of a SCSI EZ Flyer 230
listed on eBay that had included a PCI Card in the deal.

It was VERY resonable.

The neighbor has a eBay account so he ordered it for me.

I will be getting it later this week and putting it on my XP
box because my VESA VL-BUS 486DX2-66 doesn't have any PCI
Slots on the motherboard.

Thanks for all the info You've gave me about PDS in Your
(now) Home Town and about Data Recovery Masters.
