I'm working on ECL to VGA adapter.

Unfortunately, I'm currently stuck (again) - it seems ASV can't handle drives around 2GB - maybe it has inherited the old 1GB ACSI limitation. And I don't have any working SCSI drives with less than 1GB left. Maybe time to finally buy a Gigafile and go searching for small SD cards...

It does, be assured. I have it running (well) on an IBM Deskstar 309170 - a 9 Gb drive as far as I remember.

If I remember right, that one had problems partitioning a large drive but was happy if you provided a preformatted ASV partition at the start of the disk small enough to not cause partitioning getting into trouble.
There was also a set of upgrade tapes to ASV 1.02 later.

have you tried running the tapes on another tape drive? try this link, it may be of some use to you.

Attic. Unfortunately, at least one of them isn't readable anymore (with my tape drive, that is). They seem to be merely historic value.
I have several image copies of the disk contents, however.

I think we could save some information from the dead tape if the whole magnetic stripe is not damaged.

I will think about it. Promised.

Also make sure you have Parity turned OFF
