I am lucky enough to have a TK50 controller, but no TK50 tape drive!!! 
Anybody wants to lend me one and a NetBSD installation tape, I'll be
happy.  Please note I have no money, or else I would have a TK50 by
now.  I also am in need of a SCSI adapter for the uVax-II for the cd
drive and other SCSI disks.  Or maybe scratch that.  How about I just
install on the RD54 and an RD53 then get an RX50, a TK50 and NFS mount
everything else.  Of course, I gotta have money for that.
