Tape/Disk Transfer Programs
8-153

Daniel Parrish, Veterans Administration Hospital, Seattle,
Washington

This series of programs was written to create and recall disk
images on magnetic tape. They were written initially to
facilitate rebuilding the disk system in the event of an
accidental or deliberate wipe out. The usefulness of the
DF-32 was significantly enhanced by the ability to store
and easily recall a number of different disk images. A
single reel of DECtape can hold up to five complete images,
each of which occupies 4008 blocks.

Minimum Hardware:
PDP-8 with DF-32 Disk and
TC01 DECtape.
