    I've had a stack of diagnostic listing tapes and a bootable diagnostic
    tape kicking around since the 00s, along with some more scanned documentation

    anyone have anything more for this system?

    I don't have anymore docs for it but I might be interested in writing an emulator for it so we can run the software that you have. If the docs
    that you have are sufficient and if I can find the time.

    I didn't know that there was any existing software that system.

    I uploaded a hack to print out the codedit tapes along with the printouts
    The listings are in card record pairs, and on a couple of tapes they get out of sync until the next file mark. There were redundant tapes so there are duplicates
    for some of the files. I have about six more 7-track tapes that I need to read along with a rev G version of the bootable diag tape

    I also have an old 9400 tape but i'm not shure whats on it
