Three are labelled "1600bpi" so I am guessing that is probably the format of all of them. Two have labels indicating that these are original software distribution media from Texas Instruments. Label text included below. One is unlabelled and one has a hand-written Software Intelligencer label. I cannot guarantee that hese media are good and working. I don't have a 9-track drive and never have had - these were left to me by a sadly now-dead friend so I can't ask her, either. They have been stored in a cool dry place. All are in protective covers; one is in a canister as well. 2 have typed labels: TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INC TMS32010 VAX CROSSWARE PACKAGE REL 2.3 1600BPI, FORMAT = VAX/VMS 3.0; BACKUP LABEL = ASM3, SAVESET=ASM3.BCK, LINKER.BCK Copyright 1983 TEXAS INSTRUMENTS LTD & TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INC TMS32010 SIMULATOR REL 1.6 1600BPI, FORMAT = VAX/VMS 3.0 BACKUP LABEL = SIM4320 SAVESET=SIM320.BCK TMDS32402110-08 03/13/86 Copyright 1983 TEXAS INSTRUMENTS LTD The handwritten one says, on a printed SOFTWARE INTELLIGENCE label: [illegible, possibly 3011 or 5011] 1600bpi RABBIT-4 V1-0 BACKUPSAVESETS: SELECT.BCK R4.BCK -- Liam Proven * Profile: http://lproven.livejournal.com/profile Email: lproven at cix.co.uk * GMail/G+/Twitter/Flickr/Facebook: lproven MSN: lproven at hotmail.com * Skype/AIM/Yahoo/LinkedIn: liamproven Tel: +44 20-8685-0498 * Cell: +44 7939-087884
