I am using an Apple SCSI tape drive circa 1988, with Fastback II and
Apple's tape utility.  One tape, using the Apple utility, shows a
backup dated Jan 1 1904, and the backup has no files in it.  When
I press the 'previous backups' button, I get a dialog indicating
that there isn't enough memory to complete the operation.
The question is this:  Are there any utilities like Symantec,
ResEd, or PCtools that will read tape volumes?
