Sort of a strange question. Are you interested in the software or the
backup media itself? Or the OS itself?
The OS and the major applications such as PL/1 compiler, SINE editor,
MagicSixLisp, etc. There is a software simulator capable of running
OS/32 and Unix, so the dream scenario would be to get in running on
that.

I haven’t seen the disk packs for a long time (and anyway without the

across some 9-track tapes -- I recall seeing the Movie Map database
among them -- in one of the storage closets at the lab. Not sure if
they still exist after recent construction projects and group-moves
here.
Of course, tapes go missing. That's too bad, but such is life.
If anything were to turn up, I'd be interested to hear about it!
Thanks!
