I have everything backed up around 30 x 100MB ZIP Disks, which are mirrored to 2084 x 1.44mb floppy disks....

I have 10" Reel-to-Reel music I haven't played in at least that long. I
dunno if the Revox recorder can ever work again.

Got one here in a spare machine. Not used in a while but it should
still work. Twentyodd tapes of forgotten crap to go with it.

Got an external HP DDS2 drive, got a dozen or so DDS2 tapes with
data I obviously though was important about 30 years ago, AND I have
a working SCSI interface in my dual booting Windows/Ubuntu PC (the
Windows 10 partition doesn't know anything about SCSI but Linux does).
Oh and I've even got a few SCSI cables.

Now, do I have a round tuit or not...
