I don't remember sending off LINCtape images without having a decoder to
image file myself. Doesn't mean I didn't.
I looked at my old email from you and didn't find anything that seemed
related.
Lars is looking for pre merge with PDP-8 LINCtapes. Do you think they were
those or later?

I recall, LINCtape has 4 bit mark track codes
rather than 6 bit. I
had to sort this out at one time to write a Python program to recover
data from LINCtape captures.
What data was that? I have written a LINC emulator, so I'm interested
in testing it with real LINC software.
