<really? all the docs i see generally say put tape controllers at the end,
<in low priorities. with KA630 it worked in the same position (granted,
<the KA630 might have been slow enough that it didnt matter). The priority
<i always gave stuff was , first network, then the async muxes, then
<disks, then tapes.
generally true but all the uVAX docs I have for the qbus beasties seem
to make the TK50 streaming tape an exception. From using it under VMS
it does make a difference.
<the board might have just flaked out, too.
Or the drive!
