I would be interested, and I have a 9 track drive, and would provide
images to Al Kossow. I have found that tapes kept indoors do pretty
well. Just mark them "Do Not X-RAY, Old Magnetic Tapes" in at least two
spots.
Of course, if Al wants them, I would certainly bow to the Computer
History Museum. (Your tapes seem to dovetail nicely into missing spots
in
bitsavers.org/bits/dec/pdp11 .

I have uncovered a box of old 9-track reels, free for

I don't know if they're readable, they were kept indoors in Los Angeles.

There is also a tape for EG&H Sort utility, but I suspect they're still in
business, so that won't be available unless copyright/licensing is clarified.
Let me know if you want them. If more than one party wants them, whomever is able to
copy/upload them will get first dibs.
