Thought lost to time and decay, we partnered with the Reboot Rewind team and Kioxia to bring the original, uncompressed masters back to life. Join us as we try to fix the incredibly rare, $300k D1 tape deck needed for preservation! This video wouldn't have been possible without the ReBoot Rewind team, Disappearing Inc, and Mainframe Studios.
