I came across around 10 reel to reel mag tapes from RSX and VMS, from my early DEC career, that I would like to see about getting copied to SIMH tape format. Does anyone on the list here in the US still have a working 9 track tape drive on their systems, that would be willing to convert these at a hobbyist-friendly price? I dimly recall that these tapes would be 1600 BPI. I bet there are some. But in case noone turns up, and you have plenty of time, it could be solved this summer in Sweden... Johnny
