Whats next on the list, bootblocks? :)

sort of :-) full install from tape. seems very broken right now for
11/7xx.

Considering the fact that the 11/7xx machines never supported booting
from tape in the first place, that's no surprise. :-)

That's not true.  The 11/750 had boot proms to boot from up to four
different devices.  TU58 was always one, and I had one machine that
could boot from TU45.

  Indeed, I booted an 11/750 from a TU80 at work many years ago.
