I was able to reproduce the issue. When I repacked these using the
Rev. 22 MAGSAV, the install worked correctly. Here's the repacked tape
set:
https://yagi.h-net.org/m2214repack.tar.gz
Since the emulator doesn't support limiting the size of a tape, I don't
have a way to produce these things spanned across virtual reels. That
means you'll have to adjust the instructions a little. You need to read
the saves in this order:
BT
U1
U2
V1
IC
You won't have a "next reel" prompt in the middle. Each restore will be
logical tape 1.
