I have a tape that was written on a UNIVAC about ten years ago.  I cannot 
read it on a VAX or an IBM mainframe.  I suspect it is 800 bpi.  The owner
of the tape does not know much about it (she told me it was written on a
UNIVAX - I am guessing that she meant UNIVAC).  I asked our DEC rep if
there are any Dec computers in our area that can read 800 bpi tapes and he
said no.  Our IBM rep is out of town and will not be in for a few days.

So, how do people read old tapes these days?  Is there a service somewhere?  
Any help would be appreciated.
