Hmm.  Well, the V7 tape is saved... took a bunch of retries, but
I managed to grab all of it.

The V6 (Mini-UNIX) tape was OK, but some !$%(!@#$%@# must have run
out of blank tapes, and decided to use this one.. it contains binary
data.  Major bummer, sorry :(

Still working on the 2.8BSD tape, which needs more work.  I also
have to work on Christian Corti's tapes.. now that I have a working
800bpi SCSI drive, I actually *can* :)  [thanks Walter!]

Images will be sent off to the PUPS archive.

Cheers,
	Fred

FYI, the archives should already have Mini-Unix 6th Edition.  (I provided 
the "rescue" copy).  As far as I know, it was an unaltered original, so you 
ought to be able to compare yours with that one.

[pups] Mini UNIX (V6) and V7 tapes found

[Fred N. van Kempen]

Hi all,

Looks liek I ran into a bunchof really old and useful tapes
here.  Two tapes come from Bell Labs, and seem to contain the
official Mini UNIX (Sixth Edition) and the official UNIX,
Seventh Edition.

Dennis (dmr): can you verify that Bell wrote these on magtapes
from Graham Magnetics, with blue inside label?  All the stickers
and such seem "real".  The V7 tape is dated 10/15/79, the V7 one
is from 1977.

Images available on request.. still wanna know if these are real
ones, or locally-modified ones.

Cheers,
	Fred
