When I worked at Data General, we did have this happen (I talked to the people involved, and saw the photocopy). Basically the support center wanted a copy of the TAPE (9 track, 1600 BPI), and the luser photo-copied the tape, and sent it in. However from the paper label on the tape, the support center determined that they had the wrong tape. -- Michael Meissner, Cygnus Support (East Coast) 955 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA meis...@cygnus.com, 617-354-5416 (office), 617-354-7161 (fax)
