I notice you're (probably) in the UK. If you get no other offers, I can almost certainly find you a couple of reels. No idea what is on them, I have a (single drive) TU56 [1] on my PDP8/e which came off another 8/e. Since the tapes came with it, I would guess they're formatted for a PDP8 system, but I can't be sure. I have never had the time to get it all working... [1] No, not a TU55. This is a TU56 with just one transport and a blanking plate over the other holes, It is an official DEC variant. Where are you in the UK? I am wondering if I have to trust ParcelFarce with them... -tony
