Thanks, Billy. We'd provide the service ourselves if we had a PDP-11 here
with the desired types of drives, but we don't. Our last PDP-11 (an 11/50
that pretty much filled up a whole room and made about as much noise as a
747) was retired about 15 years ago. We can still, however, make an ANSI
labeled 9-track 1600 bpi tape.
What about DECUS? Are they out of the business of distributing software on
archaic native media -- DECtape, RK05, RX01, etc?
