I just acquired (5 minutes ago) a DEC TU80 open reel
tape drive, but no
docs. There is a 3rd party Q-bus card (Distributed Logic Corp) that came
with it, cables seem to line up. Does anyone know anything about this tape
drive, is it a 6250 bpi drive, can it work in a MicroVAX II or VAX 3600
Q-Bus, and is it supported under VMS 5,6, or 7? Is there some kind of SCSI
adapter so I could connect it to an NT machine or an Alpha?
A TU80 is 1600bpi only and is (from a rusty memory) 25/75ips (25ips in
normal mode and 75ips in streaming mode). Should work fine in a uVAX-II or
-III and will be supported under VMS 5,6,7,...
