Hi, a TU81+ (9-track tape drive, the latest and best that
DEC came up with) is up on ebay with only 17 hours to go. It
is in St. Louis. So, Buckaroo may want to get it. I think someone
should drop in a bid on it just so it is not lost in the
dumpster. I have already two of those outstanding (still need
to actually go and get them.) The TU81+ works nice with a
VAX 6000 or a UNIBUS vax. Not sure the smaller 4000s have
an interface, they probably do. The interface is the KLESI
on the BI bus (it's actually a UNIBUS adapter with the
TU device driver right on the same card and no way to
connect more UNIBUS.)

there is a KLESI-SA which is a dual-width QBus card. i've got
one here that will one day get hooked up to a TU81+ (after i go
and rescue it of course) and when that happens i'll report here
as to how well it works.

Now comes the question: Brian, you seem to be planning on
driving this thing home from St Louis? Are you planning to
come through the Pittsburgh area some time, I'd suppose so
if you go to St. Louis from wherever you are (I can never
remember, need to put up a map with little flags for all
the VAXen-friends' locations :-).
This could be an oportunity to meet in Pittsburg at Isildur's
VAX-party. Where do you get those trucks from? At the
remote possibility that you have a truck and drive it all
the way to STL, I'd kindly ask if you could volunteer
the truck for some pickup in the Pittsburgh area? I plan
on getting my own hands dirty, but I don't have a truck.
Even if you'd rent one, a shared deal could be cheaper.
regards

oh no. not at all. i was just offering information. the TU81+ that i am
getting and this TU81 that buck is picking up are two different boxes. as
much as i'd love to drive to STL i don't really have the time right now.
although i may in the future. so i could theoretically pick it up in the
future if no-one else snags it. i am interested in getting out to pittsburg
for the vaxenparty however, but don't know what kind of truckage i'll have at
the time.
speaking of which. when is the vaxenparty to be? i do need to cover most of
western pa and parts of ohio picking stuff up. i'll contact you in private and
we'll work out a shared truck deal depending where you need stuff picked up and
delivered.

OK - I put down a $10 minimum on it, so it at least won't end up in the
trash. However, I don't want it - if anyone does, it's yours for $10 and
pickup (unless you REALLY want to pay freight). I'll give you all a
month or two to decide - then it's parts. (sorry - space is a premium
right now, I'm using a friend's garage for storage, and he'd really like
to start working on his car).
