Hi there,

I tried to install Domain/OS in the emulator from the tape images on Bitsavers but I had the same problems as you. I tried it several times and eventually the first part worked and I got through to part 2 of the install in the DM, but the other tapes kept failing at different points so I couldn't complete the install. I am not sure if it is a problem with the tape images or the tape emulation. It is quite a shame that the disk images mentioned in the Readme aren't available. I know there are licensing issues but really this can only be of historical interest now surely.
