interested in getting my hands on probably-good TU58 and 9-track installation media
relevant to my 11/730. I'm only expressing interest in the TK50 media (which I've
also had poor luck with) because I haven't tripped over better options yet.

If any of those tapes are relevant to my
VAX-11/730, then they might interest me.
I know that there was a Unibus TK50 interface but I would have thought either
TU58 or 9-track would have been a more likely software delivery mechanism
for a VAX-11/730 back in the day.
