	TU58 sounds more familiar to me. Hmm, seems I have to run a
check on my biological memory... I don't have a possibility to check
what tape device this VAX (750/11 beast) actually has, but I'm quite
sure it has TU58 (small cartrige tape) after all. I'll refresh my
memory after I have completed my project in Germany.
