It's also possible to download these programs to 264x (x>1?) terminals
via escape sequences, so all you need is someone with one working 264x
with one good tape drive that is connected to a 3000 who can do an
:FCOPY FROM=$CTU[L|R] (still seems to be supported in FCOPY in 6.0 even)
to capture the contents of the tapes for posterity.  I think the tapes
just contain the stream of escape sequences needed to download and jump
to the code, so writing a 3000 (or whatever) based downloader is easy.
