LAB-8/E DECTape images

This is the software that came with my LAB-8/E.
Some of the DECTapes have unfortunately been bulk erased (as many other tapes formerly containing sensitive data).
Here is the list of erased original tapes from DEC I have:

DEC-S8-LPLTA-A-UC
OS/8 FORTRAN IV PLOTTER ROUTINES
7/73
(Found at pdp8.net!)

DEC-S8-OSYSB-B-UC2
OS/8 OPERATING SYSTEM
V3C DECTAPE SYSTEM
TAPE 2 OF 2
6/18/76

DEC-S8-LFTNA-C-UC
OS/8 FORTRAN IV V3C DECTAPE SYSTEM
5/22/76

DEC-S8-LFTNA-A-UC
OS/8 FORTRAN IV
SYSTEM DECTAPE
5/73

And one very interesting non DEC tape:

OS/8 HANDLER FOR HP7475
Fortran IV Plotter Routines HP 7475

If you have one or all of above,
or know where I can get an image,
please let me know!
I really would like to restore those tapes!

One of the lost files. I found the image on pdp8.net and hope that it's the real tape. I restored it to my tape.

D8-802 #1 Don't know what it is. Some mathematic sounding FORTRAN routines. The second tape seems to be missing. Perhaps a DECUS releaase?

D8-802 #3 Don't know what it is. Some mathematic sounding FORTRAN routines. The second tape seems to be missing. Perhaps a DECUS releaase?

AAVG "Advanced Averager"
I've been told that this tape is part of the LAB-8/e original software. Don't know more at the moment.

Maindec Diagnostics Some maindec binaries, didn't inverstigate further yet.

RTS Original A tape only labeled "RTS8 ORIGINAL". Contains some PAL sources, one of them named "RTS8.PA".

lab8e_dectapes.tar.gz All files in this directory Sorry, but there are some .dsc and .alias file in the archive, as well as other organizational information. Forget about that - the tapes don't have a file extension and are in lower case :-)
