Does anyone have any experience with DEC's new TU80 tape drive?
I am particularly interested in its behavior in a unix environment.
Will it stream with dump/restor on a Vax?  There are also some VMS
sites nearby who are interested in learning whether it will help
them with VMS backups.  That is, will the BACKUP utility stream the
tape, or is the situation such that only full pack dumps will cause
the drive to go into its streaming mode?  Any other comments from
those with actual experience will be appreciated.
		reply by mail, I will summarize, etc.
