I restored my old BBS off 250mb tapes after spending a long time piecing together a system able to read them. I was able to get some random files from the file section, and even got it up and running in DOSBox, login, and read my inbox from 22 years ago. I was actually able to track down one of the ANSI artists who made one of the menus I used because he publicly linked his identity to his past ANSI work. He's a graphic designer now and was happy to get an e-mail bringing back memories of the past :)
