What are you considering new? I am looking at the Ultrix 4.x Basic Installation guide dated 1990 and it lists over a dozen uVAX's, VAXservers, and VAXstations. > AFAIK Ultrix 3.0 was current at that time. Sounds about right. So it would seem OK to say that these tapes I have are for VAX. Looking at the tapes: 1) Ultirx-32 V2.0 16 USR TK50 1987 My question here would be was this the only tape needed to install this version? 2) Ultrix-32 V2.2-1 Supp TK50 1988 With this tape marked 'SUPP' I suspect that I only have the one tape of a multi-tape set. Well, someone else on the list was asking if I had any versions of Ultrix for VAX. I guess it looks like a possibility. Thanks, Mike

Blank Paper Tape Question

by bill_r＠inebraska.com

Does regular paper tape normally come with the sprocket holes pre-punched, or does the device that punches the data holes also punch the sprocket holes? I recently bought some "paper tape" from eBay, and it looks like the right stuff except it's totally without holes. I don't think I've ever seen "virgin" tape before, but I had the idea that the sprocket holes down the middle came with the tape. I'm kicking around trying to build my own tape punch, since I have been unsuccessful at scrounging or buying one so far. I picked up some stainless steel flat and some rod of the appropriate diameter for the holes today, along with some solenoids for actuating said rods. I'm thinking of machining the stainless to make my own punch, but the lack of sprocket holes on the new tape has me confused. Do I need to add another solenoid and pin to punch a smaller hole for the sprocket, or did I just buy some odd-ball tape?
