21-track tape reader
"Reading yesterday's 21 track tapes with today's technology"

21 track tape drive
Many 21-track one inch wide tapes that were written several decades ago still contain valuable data.
Our new 21-track reader was developed to read these older and in many cases deteriorated tapes.
By using modern digital signal processing technologies our reader succeeds in recovering data even from severely deteriorated tapes.
Purchasing and rental options available.

Ulysses(TM) - Disk in a tape cartridge

A joint development of MPTapes, Inc. and Imation Corp. (imation)
The Ulysses System consists of a SATA 2.5-inch hard disk drive (HDD) embedded in a tape cartridge housing. Ulysses emulates a variety of popular tape drives, including 3592, 9840, LTO, DLT, 3480. Your current tape drive software will work with Ulysses without modification.
Bad tape
Do not trust outdated technologies with your important data.
Since Ulysses is disk based it avoids problems common to tape drives. The disk is sealed and contamination of the head and media are prevented. Complex tape threading operations are not necessary and you will never have to deal with load failures.
