Congratulations on getting those tapes. I'm glad someone in our community got those and is sharing. I thought I was working with the seller to acquire those myself but I guess she backed out because of the hassle with shipping. I would have preferred to learn that from her. In any case, I'd love a copy of the tapes; particularly the Altair ones.

In the future, if you get tired of having these around, I'd still like to acquire them. I was going to get permission from UofM and put them up on YouTube but if you do that, that's perfectly fine. Working in IT in higher education, I am a collector of vintage computers with particular interest in the education field and these tapes were right up my alley.

What format are the tapes in?

Chances are it may be best to have the tapes professionally transferred to digital by someone that specializes with vintage formats.
