The agency is sitting on a piece of computer history, but won’t release it because it doesn’t have the right kind of tape player.

I don’t think it’s that kind of reel. Idk anything about Ampex but it’s probably magnetic tape

  This is accurate. I mostly know Ampex because of their history with audio recording, but I’m passingly familiar with some of the other things they did.
