This brings up a good question, since the tapes in question are TU58's, has anyone been archiving such things as tape images? They're mainly needed for the first few VAXen, and TU58's aren't the most reliable of media. The best thing to do is get tape images made, that way people that need the software can use a TU58 emulator instead of a real tape drive.
