Martin, Michael,
Thank you!
We don't have possession of the tapes yet, but, assuming that
happens, I'll try RICM to see if their machines are working again.

If you don't find a closer alternative, I have working DECtape drives on my
PDP8e (in California), as well as software that allows me to upload an entire
tape image as a binary file (via Xmodem protocol).
I'd be available to do this sometime after November 11.

We may have a half a dozen DECtapes, probably from the PDP-6 era, perhaps with
ITS with content...
Is there anyone, preferably in the MIT vicinity, who might have a working
DECtape drive and be willing to try to read the tapes?
Thanks
