Has anybody had any real-life experience with DEC's TU80 streaming/stop-start
tape drive?  This is DEC's replacement for the TS11 in their packaged 750
systems (unless you have lots of spare bucks and want the TU77/78).
Specifically, what kind of performance does one get when running 'dump'
onto a TU80?  DEC claims 25 ips in stop/start mode (vs. 100 ips streaming).
