I have the distribution tapes for IAS v3.0.   They will be part of the
archive of 9-track tapes I am creating (TPC and TAP container files).
They are all 800 BPI, so they will get copied after I finish all the
1600 BPI ones (I will have to switch to a different system and tape drive).

IAS was a variant of RSX-11D, and I enjoyed using it back in the late 1970s.

Right now, the project is on hold until I can get a replacement CPU daughterboard
for my Alpha XP1000.   It died last Friday, so I am currently Alpha-less.  :-(
