That's kinda what I figured. It looked like a weird DEC proprietary
form factor for the media. A quick google didn't turn up any obvious
discussion of the media. The machine has ethernet and I'm not sure, but
it might also have a SCSI interface. With ethernet I can get data into/out
of the machine (heck, even the console interface can do that, but
ethernet would be more expedient).

What do you
use in this thing? I've got a VAX 4000/300 with a TK70,
but it didn't come with any media and I'm wondering what I should be
looking for to feed it :)
Compact Tape II's (aka TK70's :^)
Might be easier to find a TK50 drive, and controller, or get a CD-ROM hooked
in there. I have to question weather a TK70 is worth the effort in this day
and age, unless you're trying to *read* tapes. Sadly, TK50's are still
worth the trouble, at least on a PDP-11.
