tent to slow down memory references.
A couple divides, or count instructions, though bit counting might not
be as slow as divides on machines that have an instruction stack,
similar to the difference between iterative shifting and a barrel shifter.

Do you remember if the DtCyber they run for the 6500 has dual-CPU
capability?

I can't believe that anyone never gets a clean read from any of their
tapes; most of mine have been clean. But not all of them...

It would be nice if it printed the name of the TAP file in its report.

FWIW, I also have a small rack that holds, uh, 2x4x25 8mm data tapes in

I have a couple black ones around the gearshift in my car (like horseshoes).

Ahh, someone crazier than myself, who just moved about five miles with
only 100 tapes and 1 tape drive, and no tape racks. Some are auto-load,
some are the hanger-seals (belts) you mention, some are in cannisters.

id that too. Note also on 180s with CMUs (emulated),
the instruction was limited to data in the first 262K; in particular
CPUMTR couldn't use it for storage moves unless it played games with
RA/FL in program mode (and it would still have to drag the instruction
around into each segment). Too much of a kludge, I expect.
