Anyone familiar with this format, I've got about
200 6" tapes that all say
TDX Format or TDX Tape.
I've found nothing about it through Google, these were used on a Vax 11/780
under either VMS or UCB Unix 4.1, unclear as to which OS. Standard TU78
was used. This is all I know so far...
Is this some kind of compression format or something? Any help on this
would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
They may be tapes for a Sentry tester. A development system was available
for VMS and there was a program to read and write TDX tapes for exchanging
data and programs with the tester. If I remember correctly TDX stood for
Tester Data eXchange.
This may be a completely different TDX format. Is there any other information
on the labels?
