[Simh] PDP-15 DECtapes

Hi Bob                                                                          

I have been in contact with a swedish company that used a PDP-15 in             
development in the seventies. The machine itself is long gone. But they         
happen to have a box of DECtapes still. One tape is labled "DOS" and            
another "DOS dump".                                                             

Could this be of interest? I have a broken TU56 and we have semi-working        
TU55 (I think) at the computer club. But I doubt we could set something         
up easily to read these tapes. Perhaps we could get help from a friend          
in sthlm that has a working PDP-8/e with tape drives. I'm not sure the          
system is compatible with PDP-15 tapes though.                                  

Here is a picture of their machine:
