There is a paper tape interface PR04, I think and DECtapeII (tu58) is
supported. As to other DECtape(TU60 casette, TU56 and TE16) I'm less
certain.

Yes, 34s are a great machine.

PUPS -> WWW.PUPS.ORG I'm running V7 on RL02 on an 11/73. They have an
archive and license for binaries and sources for all (or nearly so) of the
PDP-11 unix versions (at a minimum V5 through 2.11bsd).
