Teac Data Cassette Streamer Subsystem
The Teac Data Cassette Streamer Subsystem or Cassette Streamer had cassettes just like audio cassettes with a notch out of the top they would not use a A and a B just one side of the tape. full recording on one side, my uncle passed and left me a box of tons of cool stuff he had for work and all sorts of stuff on them on Maxell High Density Data Cassettes CS-600XD about 160 MB a tape thats alot when you compare it to what was on a 3 inch floppy disk at the time 1.4 mega bytes on the floppy versus 160mb and up on a data cassette exact look as a audio cassette. So big data from the 90s. however I dont know how to get the records off of them, I think they are Dos based with use in a program called Mountain Filesafe tape software, but it would require a driver to run with dos for the autoexec.bat file with dos and I cant find anything for that. There was old mac classics at the time I had one it had external HDD that look like the same case design as the TEAC drive that I bought to read the tapes its a 50 pin centronics scsi Connector much like the db25 to centronics cables used on parallel printers at the time making me think maybe the 90s era cassette streamer was a classic mac use, but there is so little information on the web about there uses. is that the cassette you are asking about? I was thinking about getting a firewire to scsi adapter and then trying to get it to read it but I am still gonna need a driver to see it.
