A small update and a question.

I should have gotten around to asking sooner, but here it goes.

I got the tapes, two are labelled DOS and the rest is probably user data 
(according to the owner). We'll make a go at image the tapes tomorrow 
using an 8/e or an 8/a. Is there anything we should know or think about?
