Does anyone out there have some or all of the "Paper Tape System" tapes for the
PDP-11/20? We have a couple of 11/20s with the basic 4kW installed, and I'd like to
set up a machine to demonstrate the life of a paper-tape-based programmer. I'd be
glad to cover your expenses for a copy or, if it's more convenient, pay shipping for
you to loan them to us and we would make the copies. Or, if someone is aware of where
images of these live that I haven't been able to uncover, I'd be grateful for a
pointer.
Please feel free to contact me privately. Thanks! -- Ian

I have a few boxes of paper tapes for the 11. I'll have to see if they
are what you are looking for. Do you know what id numbers would be on
the ones you want?

Once those are available in some form, I'd love a copy, too (I could
send a box of fanfold tape or I could accept modern byte-stream files
and punch my own). I have a 16kW PDP-11/20 that's on my list to start
restoring this year (it used to have more memory, but other co-workers
souvenired some of the core planes).
In my case, it's no hurry, but I wanted to stick my hand in the air if
software like this is being dug out.
Thanks,
