Speaking of old computer tapes:

Digital Data Transfer
Large quantities of digital geoscience data are also held by private
industry. Like cores and cuttings, this digital geoscience data represents
decades of data collections previously not available to the wider geoscience
community. Additionally, storage costs for the tapes this data is stored on
continues to increase, as does the concern that media degradation may make
much of the data unrecoverable in the near future. To address these
concerns, the NGDRS has attempted to coordinate the transfer and
transcription of contributed digital data to new media and to be placed at
public repositories around the country. Estimates made during Phase II
indicate that millions of 9-track tapes, mostly reflection seismic surveys,
are available for transfer."

Apparently less than 1% was converted in 2003, and they were unable to continue......JBII has solved that problem...........z
