I'm looking for someone who has program tapes and probably a MAAP panel in order to get a long out-of-service Dimension 2000 operating again. This is for a non-profit historical organization.

However I wonder how likely it is that a 30-40 year old tape will even be readable now. It's my recollection that the tape drives were quite balky and prone to read errors even when new. My first-hand experience with these systems dates back to the 1980's.

Boy Arthur good luck on this search..I looked through some of my old stuff and the only thing I have left from the ole 2000 day's is my 3-ring binder of "flip charts" of the proc's...I haven't seen a Maap panel in years...and your right !! If anyone has a tape left its probably "dry rotted" by now..I used to know a guy in NC that had a bunch of that old stuff I'll try to get ahold of him and see if he still has any and let you know...

...bob...

If it was built after 1980 don't expect it to work right.
