We're trying to bring 4.3 BSD up on a VAX 8250.  The tape drive we have
is a DEC TU81.  Our current controller is a DEC Klesi-B, which is
unsupported under BSD.  We're willing to trade in our Klesi-B for
a Klesi-U if it works.

We're now trying to find either a driver for the Klesi-B or anyone who
has experience using Klesi-U with the TU81.

I've talked with Chris Torek who did the KDB-50 support, and he said
that he "assumed" the Klesi-U would work, but was not sure.  Has anyone
tried using Klesi-U?  Or in general, has anyone got the TU81 working on
the UNIBUS under 4.3?

Please MAIL responses, as I don't read this group.
