For anyone else reading this: Lucio and I have emailed about this. Besides him
offering me his digitized version I have arranged for a company digitizing my
20+ year old NTSC VHS tape. I spoke with them today and they will give that
old VHS tape the royal treatment of cleaning the tape and then digitizing it
to a USB stick that they will send to me. I will publish both rips to my FTP
site, ftp.fidonet.io, as soon as I have them.
