Yay! Congratulations!
and for the other machines, get the MFM drive for my uVAX
formatted (need to produce a diagnostics tape for that.) Start
up my VAX 11/780, turn it into a 785 and make a dual CPU
machine from it. Install the PDP-8/A rack and make it going.
I've got one. The project for the night is to try a dd dump of the
MVII Diags tape and see if it'll generate a bootable dupe. If it
works, I'll get an image to you.
Final question for today: is there a program that rips
an exact
tape image from a physical tape (TK70). I have that diagnostics
tape on a TK70 but need to move it onto TK50. The TK50 drive
is not happy on the TQK70 controller (or VMS isn't happy with
it.) So, I need to make a binary image, move it to laptop,
boot uVAX-II/NetBSD and write it on TK50.
No dd?
