Once upon a time I used to test and configure MicroVAX

Back in the day, I got the following TK50 tapes:
Tape #1, marked "MicroVax II Service Diagnostics", dated 10/6/89.
Tape #2, marked "VWSDemo.bak, Flight017.bak backup/save sets"
The first tape needs no explaination, the second tape is a rather cool
'toy' we ran
on two microvax II's with the graphics boards and mice, it was an
interactive
combat flight simulator (rather primative).
I recall getting to shoot down one of the other tech's day after day.
At any rate, said tapes are seeking a new home.
SCHWINNG!
I just put together a VMS VAXstation with TZ30 with the express
purpose of making a SAVESETof the MV-II Diags - Customer and Field
Maintenance - tapes that I have. The Maintenance tape is suspect, so a
comparison tape would be groovy.
I'll image them and then pass them on if somebody else wants the
originals.
I also have Terry Murphy's MV-I Diags on RX50 that I need to image.
I just last month got a probably-good floppy drive for the MV-II, so I
should be able to image them if not test them.
Al, do you want copies of this stuff?
