Hi,

In my old stuff I found a 3M DC2120 tape. I really don't remember how
I obtained it or what data I put on it. Anyway, now I'm really
courious to see what it cotnains. Does anyone know where I could find
an old drive that is able to read it?

thanks!

Professional data-recovery company. Might cost several hundred
Euro/USD though. Given that these hold only 60MB (if I remember
correctly), I doubt they are in regular usage anywhere.

Ebay.

I've already tried on ebay but I couldn't find anything by just typing
in DC2120. I was wondering if anyone knows what these drives used to
be called. And yes, ebay would be the best option. I'm not looking
forward to spend several hundred dollars.
 
ok, I've found out how to find these drives on ebay....it is enought
to type QIC-80 or Conner
 
Go to eBay and get yourself a Wangtek E5525ES QIC External Tape Drive (SCSI)
and
a copy of Sytos DOS/Windows tape backup software. Together they cost you
less than $20.00
on eBay. The tape drive will read and write DC2120 by default.
