Does anyone still have the TIP or TAC software?
Also, did the TIP/TAC require an IMP of its own?

It was different. TIPs were terminal servers.
I just talked to the two people who brought up the first IMPs at SRI
and
UCLA. The earliest ones booted from paper tape. Once there was
critical mass
BBN added a boot rom board, and the software was remote loaded from
them
or from a neighboring IMP (they all ran the same version of the
software).
