Ah. Non-DEC hardware all around.
Yup.
Probably because the SC hardware and TOPS-10 patches added support for it. It does pack data more densely. (2 words in 9 frames rather than 1 word in 5.)
Mmm, yeah.
On a modified OS on non-DEC hardware? No.
Confirmed, no docs for SETFOR.
Pre-release on github, just for you. I just posted an announcement.
Seems to work.
I don't accept mail bombs. If you e-mail something that large, it will be rejected by my mailer.
I was going to email a private link. ;)
You can test the conversion, or just do a backup of a small file (say, 10 blocks). That's all that's required to know if it works.
It seems to work with a full tape.
If necessary, I can provide a dropbox on my server, but I don't think it's necessary. The math says it's probably high-density. It's possible that SC implemented a DIFFERENT high-density mode; in that case if you can scare up documentation on what they did, it's pretty easy to add a mode to tape36 (the converter.)
Nops, looks like it's the same high-density mode.
