[Simh] Folks who have old DECUS tapes... look for something for me?

[Michael Kerpan]

Good luck. I've been looking for old DECUS tapes as well. At least some of
them used to be online, but they've disappeared over the last 5-10 years.
An interesting project would to get tape images, sort through them and
create an emulator-friendly "best of" tape with various games and programs
that would be fun and interesting for a new user setting up a virtual
PDP-11 for the first time.
