RE: Looking for old Delta programs

I've been training Xerox Textbridge/Mac to OCR the output of DELTA's
80-column line printer. After some training, it does pretty well,
depending on how old the ribbon was when the listing was printed. I have
scanned in, but still have to proof Far-Out Opcodes and a handful of other
humor. I haven't gotten back far enough in the basement to find much code,
although I do have listings of the PDP-8 simulator and assembler that I
wrote in BASIC-Plus.
I'm working on getting a paper tape reader hooked up, keep your fingers
crossed.
Has anybody had any luck in reading old 9-track magtapes? I haven't found
a local drive yet; it sounds like they're all gone from ZK (DEC Spit Brook
Rd.)
