I know they dumped a *lot*, but I thought there had been some "official" dumping of what was left on CHM. -- There are several hundred tapes at CHM from DEC LCG. Most of the distribution tapes from the mid70's onward as well as backups of all of the development machines are there. I have suggested that they DO NOT just try reading these on the tape drives that they have, and that they wait until a special drive is available. I have been waiting for one of these drives for several years now. I would ask that people DO NOT encourage them to attempt to read these until a way to read them without risking their damage is available.
