So is anyone
archiving the software for this Mulitcs system?
An archive of Multics exists at MIT. If my recent personal
experiences with 9 track magtape can be considered representative
and not anecdotal, then I think the tapes will still be readable
even ten years from now.

What kind of 9-Track tape drives can read these tapes though? IIRC, the
drives we had on the DPS-8's were pretty much bog-standard 9-Tracks (I
remember writting a tape to be read on a Sun box).
