I have been contacted by someone who has some TU60 cassette tapes
which they would like to read. The tapes were created on a PDP/8 using
OS/8. They have an OS/8 system running on an RL02 disk, with the TU60
drive, and paper tape reader. They are unable to access the TU60 drive.
The system seems to be working properly, but they do not have any manuals.

Does anyone know how to access the TU60 drive from OS/8, or how to
configure OS/8 so that it can access the TU60, or what additional
driver is required?

Does anyone know of someone who would be able to read and convert these
tapes to a less ancient media?

All comments and suggestions are welcome. Please mail responses to
uunet!cybvax0!pbm.
Thanks.
