I'd certainly be interested in the V8 tapes being archived.  I understand the current archives we have are original snapshots from a BTL server in the Plan9 days, but it'd be cool to have proper images of the distro tapes, for instance, for SimH.  Other than that, lots of font and Sun stuff there, can't speak to the value or how much has already been preserved anywhere.
