Folks,
I've got a fair amount of what would be classified as public domain tape
data from old customer jobs wandering around. I don't have the time to
peruse it in detail and was wondering if someone would like to take a
stab at a sample and perhaps volunteer for the rest.
Much of this is from university archivists whose job it was to archive
all of the unlabeled or private tapes that they found. I doubt that
said folks know what to make of the data.
At any rate, here's a sample from a Unix (probably V7) tar-ed up:

The original appears to be cpio-ed.
Looks to be more like a USENIX tape based on the directory names...
Maybe the 1980 USENIX tape, based on the listings and what's in the TUHS
archives...
Are your archives online, or is it a bunch of tapes still?
