Yes, I already know that. The problem here is that using the OS recovery kit (which includes an OS backup tape and some memory boards that you don't really need, since there's already one in the mainframe) to recover the mainframe gives you the very basics of DWAINE but with no programs, which kind of defeats the purpose.
As I mentioned before I suspect the programs are stored on the Master tape, but am unsure how to load them into the mainframe. Just sticking it into the databank doesn't do anything, and if I cycle mainframe power for some reason that undos the OS backup. And there's only one working databank on Zeta so I can't have both the OS recovery and the Master tape in banks at the same time.
