New The years are not kind to party girls...
...or old computer hardware.

If you know a computer museum that might have an interest, or someone who needs to do data conversion, part it out. It's worthless for practical use. Media are likely not avialable or prohibitively expensive.

My choice: toss it. If you're feeling responsible, find a place that accepts computer hardware for proper disposal -- toxics, etc., are an issue.

New I don't know of any place like that
at least near me. Nobody seems to want to take in used computer parts. Might as well sell it on Ebay to someone that doesn't know any better and thinks that $15 or more is a bargan for a Tape Drive? :)

New Oh, the media's still available.
It's a loooooong time before Imation discontinues a tape. Problem is, these Colorado things barely worked to start with. I've got a heap of dead and useless ones.

New I must be very very lucky then
It has been sitting on a shelf for almost 6 years and still works ok. I can read tapes that I made in 1994 and 1995. Just that two sets of Windows 95 backups seem to be a "Bad Format" or something.

I recall in 1994 that I had to download an updated version of the tape software to avoid CRC (Not you Christian) errors on restores.

I don't see how this has anything remotely to do with football.
