I saw that, read the manual, and couldn't believe that a disk
operating system would run with just a DECtape.
Remember, the DECtape (both -I and -II) appear to the host system as
block-structured, random-access devices, even though their physical
implementation is sequential access. They were even marketed as "the
tape that acts like a disk".
