[fa.info-vax] TK-50 advice sought

From: Dave Barach <barach@bbncc3.ARPA>

Has anyone out there had experience with the new DEC TK-50 tape-drive?  
We're strongly considering them for use in a product, and wonder how well they
work.

For those who don't know, the TK-50 is a streaming tape-drive for the
MicroVAX-2, 90MB on a 4"x4"x1" cartridge.

Thanks... Dave

We haven't been able to use it much, since our order for TK-50
cartridges is back-ordered until February (!).
