Thanks for checking this, it's good to hear that this is still the case

Hello all,
Thank you for all the feedback and good advice I got on my question about my
"new" VAX 11/725.
I will need some time to try out the proposed solutions. I do have a boot-tape (only one)
and seven rc25 packs. But unfortunately I first have to find a proper key to select the
/off/standby/local/remote/ at the console-switch?
I am glad that there are still people giving feedback to a question about this small old
VAX, and that there are still a few machines left in the US. This one is standing at the
address below. I certainly could use some support with this project (of course I will pay
any costs for shipment).
Thanks,

yes - that damn tiny red plastic key. it's not like the PDP11 ones...
btw my boot tape is "BE-T1731-ME TU58#34 VAX 11725/730 CONSOLE"
I wonder if it is possible to load BSD (quasisaurus) on TU58, as I have
no 9 track take or ethernet on the system. It might be possible to write
BSD load images from a PC to the TU-58, as I know VMS be be loaded like
this.

The PDP11 key will work, as will any other ACE key. The "lock" you're
looking at has no pins, so anything in the shape of an ACE key, no
matter what pin combination, will turn it.

Hoi,
ik denk dat ik nog wel zo'n sleuteltje voor je heb, zal ik die morgen
even in een envelop stoppen en opsturen? :) Verder heb ik afgelopen week
nog meer tu58 tapes ontdekt, en ik kan wel even voor je op zoek naar
meer boottapes of andere nuttige tapes.
mvrgr,
