Hi,
Someone's selling tu58 carts (a.k.a. "dectape II") for a 730 on ebay.
http://search.stores.ebay.com/search/search.dll?query=DEC&srchdesc=y&am…
I snapped up the diag tape. There doesn't appear to be a boot tape.
The other tapes I don't know about.
For example, what's a "vax 11 hardcore" tape? (sounds like something
I'd want to *watch* :-) Does that somehow turn on pdp-11 emulation?
And is the "microdiag" tape useful?
The cluster exercisor does not seem useful (I can't imagine a cluster of
730's :-)
If anyone else buys these, please let me know - I'd like to scan them
into disk files.
