It used to be that when someone took the ITS system down, to use the PDP-6 in stand-alone mode, it would automatically load the music player and play the Star-Spangled Banner (executable file @ BANANA) to signify that time sharing was signing off.
PDP-6 users asked about tapes:
- [x] Peter Samson: presumably all tapes imaged
- [ ] Richard Greenblatt: two tapes imaged, are there more?
- [x] Fred Wright: no tapes
- [x] George Mitchell: maybe three tapes, no system
- [x] Stewart Nelson: threw away tapes 20 years ago, no system anyway
- [x] Phil Gagner: no tapes any more
- [x] Mike Brescia
- [x] Tom Knight: no
- [x] Allen Brown: no tapes
- [x] David Cressey: DM had disks

See https://github.com/PDP-10/its/issues/672#issuecomment-900972593 for information about Sussman's 1967 ITS printout.
I talked to @gjs some weeks ago, and he said he'd have the printout scanned.
