I recently acquired a load of 9 track tapes from eBay. What a deal, I only
paid 1 cent for a trunk load of tapes. In there, I found an original DEC
RSX11M+ (3.0) distribution, several DECUS RSX SIG tapes from the fall of
1981 to the spring of 1987 and a bunch of other miscellaneous tapes!
I put a list of most of the tapes up on my www site:
http://www.dadaboom.com/pdp11/software/tapes.html .
If copies are not available elsewhere, I was planning on duping the RSX SIG
tapes and putting them up on my www site. I won't be putting the RSX
distribution online due to the copyright infringement problems :-(
Now the questions
1.) Would having the tapes on-line be useful?
2.) If so, what's the best way to dup them and make them available for
download?
I have a PDP-11 running RT-11 (v5.03) and a uVAX-III running VMS v5.5. I can
hook my 9 track tape drive (TS05) up to either of them. I'd bet VMS would be
the better bet, but I'm not sure about the best way to dup them so that they
would be useful for the rest of the world.
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill
