John Butler thinks he can get an APM to run, and thinks that Rainer
may have an exabyte with the last source dump.  JHB also has an RL01
with Brian Gilmore's DEIMOS operating system (and his MSc dissertation).
I'd like to ask JHB to contact Brian for us to get a release.  Maybe also
he'd be a good person to ask about the lost EMAS source checkpoint, and
maybe even the old ERCC backup tapes.

Would anyone who sees Rainer today mind pointing him at the web site please?

He says he knows where to track down a working PDP11 with an 8" floppy and 
an RK05/RL01 drive in case we need to read those.

And he has a paper tape reader and a new 5.25" PC floppy drive so
we can still read 5.25" disks etc. in a PC.  (There are some programs
around to copy complete disk images, if we hit any old formats we can't
easily decode, such as p-machine floppies).  We can always recover the 
data from the raw images later.  Contact me if you can't find such a program
and need one, I have it somewhere on one of my PCs.

Graham
