Curt,
This will be a short reply as I don't have much time at the moment;
but I have worked with the Prime Magsav/Magrst format quite a bit in
the distant past. In fact, I wrote a proposal a few months ago to help
someone recover data from a large collection of Magsav tapes. At that
time, I was able to find several packages to read Magsav tapes. At least
one of them even helped with data on Magsav tapes in various Prime formats
- like MidasPlus format. Unfortunately, none of these were exactly low
cost. I could dig out my report and give you the names of the software,
if you would like. Also, I would be happy to discuss the problem with
you if you would like. Just call me using the contact information listed
at the end of this posting. (By the way, I spend most of my week days
in Eugene presently.)
