We're going to be buying a 2nd MicroVAX (a 3800; we already have a MV II).
We'd prefer not to buy a TK-50 or -70 drive for it, and we are buying a
9-track (TU-81 compatible) drive from a 3rd party that will be attached
to the 3800.  We can't be sure when we'll get the 9-track OR the 3800.

	Is it possible for us to do the initial VMS load over DEC-Net
or some other way from our MicroVAX?  Or should I just mount the 
MicroVAX TK-70 in the 3800 long enough to do the system load?

Comments and suggestions welcome and desired!
