Whoa, are you sure? I'm quite certain that I used vtserver to
transfer a full-sized RD54 image to an 11/83 a few years ago.
That's what Fred van Kempen, who was maintaining VTserver at the
time, told me. It came up because I had been trying to build a 2.11BSD
tape. At the time, the TU80 was the only 9-track drive I had, so I was
doing it via vtserver.

Slow the data rate. Stay under 4800 as you may be getting buffer
overflows.
I'll see about trying that tomorrow. I don't really mind if
it
takes days to copy (I'm moving a 300+MB image) as long as it's
error-free. My memory generally sucks; I may have done something
else for that
image, but I know I've moved *some* images to that 11/83 using vtserver.
I can relate to the wetware issues.
