I don't know the 9144 number.  If that's a QIC drive, I (and probably
numerous other listmembers) have drives that might well work to read
the data, if your friend is willing to trust someone else with copies
of the data (as seems likely since you say "historical interest").

Where are the tapes physically?  We might be lucky and find that
someone willing and able is close by....
