Jerome Fine replies:

I don't have any VAX systems, so no trade is possible.

But I am in Toronto (H. Fine at 2 Inglis Gate), so give
me a phone call.

If your system is 2 feet wide, it sounds like a 19" rack
in a low cabinet.  Does it have an RL02?

The TK70 is a 5 1/4" DLT type tape drive which uses DEC
CompacTape II media.  I don't think the front cover
could be missing, but I am not a hardware type person.

Do you know which model of PDP-11?

And I have been asking for someone to pick up my PDP-11
systems, but no one has answered.  Still, I can't see
that it would be reasonable to toss it if it is Qbus.

Sincerely yours,

Jerome Fine
