Any takers? I will pre-pay for shipping and media if anyone on the list
can help me out with writing it with 4.3BSD Quasijarus0c.
Thanks in advance,
John Willis

Are you still offering the media kits for a fee?
I would be if I had my TK50 writing setup working... It isn't at the
moment :-(
I really want to start providing real tapes like UC Berkeley did, but I'm
so swamped that I cannot tell when, if ever, will I get myself set up to
be able to do it. Until then you should ask on ClassicCmp if anyone can
write you a tape from the images on my FTP site. I'm sure there are plenty
of people there with the necessary setup who'll do it for you. When you
post your request to the list, feel free to mention that you've asked me
and that I lack the necessary hardware setup at the moment.

I have two TK50 drives attached to a VAX 4000/90 running OpenVMS, although I
could attach a TK50 to a Linux/SCSI setup. Is this any use? Oh, and I live in
the UK.
How many tapes does the software occupy, and what format do they need to be
written in?
Regards,
Mark

I can write 9-tracks and TK70's but not 50's, sorry.
I have some 4000 peripherals but no cpu at the moment. (I never intended
to actually *use* the 4000, but it's starting to look like something
fun to play with :-)
I bought some old tk70 media on ebay (used). Is it possible to get
new media for tk50 or tk70's?

I wrote my
Quasijarus tapes my self. I net booted NetBSD and used the
maketape utility from 2.11BSD to write them. Worked well.
Replace the TQK50 with a TQK70, if you can get one. Best would be to
replace the TK50 drive with a TK70 too, but a TK50 works well on the
TQK70. The TQK70 has some more buffer bits, avoiding tape splutter.
