Well after crossing my fingers I got 24 TK-52-K 1/2" tape cartridges in the mail today. I've now got a reasonable amount of media for my TK70 to chew on. These were DEC labelled tapes interestingly enough. They come with a check box to indicate "296 MB" or "95 MB" and it appears that one can use them in a TK50 as well? That would be pretty cool (not that I have a TK50, but if I did it would be cool :-) A couple of questions of course ... 1) Can use in either drive? Restrictions? 2) Is it possible to write a TK50 bootable tape on a TK70? Also I signed up for DECUS so that I could get the OpenVMS media, but haven't heard back from DECUS.org, (its been a week). Are these guys slow? --Chuck
