The Tape Library Salvage Score!

3 Replies

A while ago I talked about a broken tape library I was going to salvage. In this post I will cover everything I got.

  • A very powerful ATX power supply.
  • Many fans.
  • A touch screen display.
  • 2 tape drives LTO4 and LTO3 (the LTO3 drive is bad).
  • A cleaning tape (it was stuck in the LTO3 drive).
  • The tape library assembly (stepper motors, lasers, gears, solenoids, and much more!)

The LTO3 Drive With a Cleaning Tape Inside.
The Back of the ATX Power Supply.
The Front of the ATX Power Supply.

    Wow, Owen! You are amazing. I remember you taking apart the stereo when you were barely 3 years old (not even 4). It took you less than five minutes to put the wires back in place. Also, when I took you to pick out a birthday present (age 3), you picked out a hair dryer because you were fascinated by how it worked. You wanted to take it all apart and put it back together. So happy that you have a blog that I can read and see what projects you are working on. Keep it up!!!
