Hi Bob,

I am not aware of any VAXen that will BOOT from a nine-track tape.
If someone knows how to do this on a 750, let me know. I currently
have to boot and run the 4.3BSD utilities (format, etc) from the
TU58.

That be said, the tape drives should work just fine on a 3100, or a
SCSI equipped uVAX II.
