I want to restore my machine to a complete, working condition. It lacks several parts, a few of which are the DD11-DK Unibus expansion backplane, Ethernet card (optional) plus several miscellaneous parts and fasteners. I have to make a precise list yet. Mass storage devices were external on this particular machine. I have to check for sure, but in one of the extra 10.5" BA11 boxes I have in the pile, there may be a DD11-DK that I can swipe. Any way to get the 11/780 boot tape and diagnostics and such on TU58 tapes? Actually, any TU58 blank tapes still even sold? The normal 730 system is shown in the VAX 11 Handbook as having an R80 drive in the same 40" rack. I could either get an R80, remove the front door and install it or try some other type of device. Ideal thing would be to find a SCSI card and hang a modern hard disk and a tape drive onto it to make a lighter, more compact system (God knows I need it around here!) But it'll take awhile to find a SCSI i/f module I bet.
