Dave,
Does this mean you have other tapes in the tray? If so, could you
image them too?

I will do a
bit more investigating before a post the file, including
looking to see if I can find any documentation " in the store"
Found the problem , it loads into field 1 with the bin loader also in 1. Now
loads and auto starts, I think its in fact a multi part as it starts
before the end of the file and as im loading from my terminal emulator we
loos the last bit, its maybe an optional overlay, the file maybee needs
split.
I found the user manual , thats how I found out about the loading.
Link to the bin and a pdf of the user manaul here

I guess its not in Bitsavers, could someone let Al know ? , unless hes
allready seen this that is .
