I am attempting to recover some files from a DECTAPE II cartridge.
They are in RT-11 format, so the most useful drive would be a TU-58.
Does anyone have a spare drive that they are willing to sell or at
least rent for a long time? The one that I prefer is a dual desk
top box with its own internal power supply and a 10 pin header on
the back for connection to an RS-232 channel so it can be connected
easily to a DLV11-J (or any other DL channel on a PDP-11 with some
wiring changes).
A TU-58 is normally standard with a PDP-11/44, so if the 11/44 is not
in a state to be rescued, that at least if there is a TU-58 available,
please contact me. They may also have been used with a VAX 11/780.
