If you don't find a closer alternative, I have working DECtape drives on my PDP8e (in
California), as well as software that allows me to upload an entire tape image as a binary
file (via Xmodem protocol).
I'd be available to do this sometime after November 11.

Is there anyone, preferably in the MIT vicinity, who might have a working DECtape drive
and be willing to try to read the tapes?
Thanks
