I'm looking for help and advice on how to read two
DEC tapes that were given
to me recently. I would like to save the data from the tapes on a CD-ROM
and hopefully view the files on a WinXP system. I'm in the San Jose,
California area. I don't have any DEC systems and know very little about
DEC tapes. I'm assuming that the label is correct: "PDP-8/E OS-8 format",
but I may be wrong.
Here are a few pictures of the tapes in case it helps.

Looks just like mine. I can't read mine either. It's probably got my
college PDP/8e TSS/8 BASIC programs on it.
Any advice or help is appreciated.
Thanks,
david.
