I just emailed al (I assume - aek(a)bitsavers.org ) at bitsavers, I still
have the tapes for the OS and C Compiler, and "GLS" libraries, so we'll
work that angle to try and get these read and archived.

How did this work out?
Did anybody read the tapes?
Hello,
I'm an employee with the National radio astronomy observatory here in
Socorro New Mexico.
As part of our NGVLA upgrades, we are seeking to
get rid of old data
tapes from the tape reel days of Computing. These contain things such as
the boot loaders, OS, specific collection programs and antenna movement
programs.
I personally would hate to see these just wind up
in the literal
dumpster and would like to see them sent out to a museum or an archiving
body that can preserve them and keep them safe as a dynamic part of history.
If anyone is interested or knows someone who would be interested in the
VLAs data tape library please let me know.
