That's why I bought an Alpha server a couple of years ago... it came with
a TSZ07 - 180MHz Alpha, 384MB RAM, several SCSI trays... all for $50,
less than the shipping on the tape drive alone.
I got it home and the first thing I did was test the tape drive with my
Dell P-133 laptop (Linux)... it was kinda wierd to see the size differential
between the CPU and the peripheral, but it all worked fine the first time,
no funny stuff.
I just need a good way to slurp up VMS backup tapes now. Perhaps with SIMH
and VMS.
