Yeah, thanks for that, Gmail.
Set of 4 vintage 9-track tapes, believed to be from DEC VAX systems
There are four of these. Three are labelled "1600bpi" so I am guessing
that is probably the format of all of them.
Two have labels indicating that these are original software
distribution media from Texas Instruments. Label text included below.
One is unlabelled and one has a hand-written Software Intelligencer
label.
I cannot guarantee that hese media are good and working. I don't have
a 9-track drive and never have had - these were left to me by a sadly
now-dead friend so I can't ask her, either.
They have been stored in a cool dry place.
All are in protective covers; one is in a canister as well.
2 have typed labels:

Well, I'm guessing you can find someone closer to read them, but I'd be
happy to do so. Michigan, USA.

Is that the Museum of Science & Industry in Manchester? Sure, no
problem - cheaper than posting 'em to the US!
Using Collect+ it'd be a bit under ?6. If you can nominate a corner
shop to collect from, I can use their even cheaper shop-to-shop
service. There's a list on their website.

Dave,
I know someone who could read them, I know he reads this list from time to
time and he does not live too far from us either.

I wonder if there was an actual evaluation board for that DSP - perhaps

I have now had several requests for the tapes, one from the UK for
museum collection & display but not data retrieval, and some from the
US and possibly Norway for getting the data off. Obviously the ideal
would be someone in the UK who could get the data off /then/ send them
to the museum!
There are enough requests for TK-50 carts now that I will have to work
out an allocation strategy for dividing them up, but that is fine.
