Connecting a scsi dlt or dat drive is something i had not considered. I
thought i would have had to buy and use DEC branded tape drives.
I already have a scsi dat and DLT drive in use on my SGI octane. I could
probally write the image with the octane and then move the drive over to
the microvax

SLT drive."
Oh wow. i had not even considered that. I have a pdp 11 with a beast of a 9
track tape drive in is's own rack, that would be interesting if i could get
a scsi tape drive for the vax and use some big tapes to
