TK50 orientation? - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

Works fine either way.  Mine is in the side slot and the top slot is for the
RX33's.
Do you just need the foot or the complete shell for the BA23?  I have a
bunch but the shell is a real PITA to ship.  I have a H*** of a time finding
boxes for them.  I even checked on having some made.  About $4.50 ea. with a
100 minimum quantity.

...
 Does anyone know what the "official" word is
on TK50 orientation? By
orientation I mean can I put a TK50 drive in a BA123 in the "sideways"
slot? (Tape slot's long direction is vertical) I notice that they would
have to be that way in a BA23 in a floor stand.

And speaking of BA23's, does anyone have a spare floor stand? I've got a
VAXStation 3200 that I'd like to put in a floor unit (I've currently got it
in a rack shelf.)
