    I hope some of you experienced hands might know the answer to this. The
final release of MPE-V/R (E.01.00, R2548) from 1985 indicates support for the
Series II, III, 30 and 33. It's unclear if there were separate FOS tapes for
the II/III and 30/33: were there? Earlier MPE releases were numbered 32002 for
the II/III and 32033 for the 30/33. Is it possible that there was a single
R2548 FOS tape that could be cold loaded on both the II/III and 30/33?

    The only publicly available tape image of R2548 is 32002-11018_Rev-2548 on
Bitsavers, which J. David Bryan used for his 3000 emulator on SimH. We know
that works on a Series III. Does anyone have a MPE-V/R tape (or image) known
to run on a Series 30/33? I've already been in touch with David.

    Thanks for any info.
