I was moving some boxes in the basement tonight and found something that
was recently mentioned on the list - TU-58s of VMS 3.2 through VMS 3.5!
I also found my 4.2BSD tapes, and at least one System III tape for the 11/780
along with plenty of Ultrix tapes, Ultrix 32M (on RX-50 for MicroVAX-I)
and MicroVMS 4.2.
The basement is, as one would expect of a midwestern basement, not bone
dry. Some of the tapes show traces of white mold on the edges. I will be,
therefore, attempting to read these tapes forthwith. My only functioning
1600 bpi tape drive is presently a TU-80. I could go to a friend's house
and try to use his SCSI magtape if that made sense.
