There are known backup copies of all my tapes. I hope to acquire a new
reader/punch soon to put my tapes online.

Nice how machines from that era were well made
enough to still work.
Eric spared us video of what was probably months of restoration to make
it work as well as new.
Lovely video, beautiful machine. Thanks for posting.
Are the tapes imaged and online? Watching you handle them was anxiety
inducing :)

Remember that Lunar Lander game from about 1970.
Version I played was
written in FOCAL and run on a TSS-8. Should try it out on some kids who
think they're great gamers and see how fast they catch on - once we were
able to land without crashing we'd see who could come down at lowest
speed or have most fuel left over after a successful landing.
