Maybe not. IIRC, the TU78 had a bunch of teething problems. I
definitely remember many 2 AM phone calls from the night shift operators
when the overnight backup runs failed (I think the tape would run off
the end of the reel). Much back and forth with the DEC hardware and VMS
engineers before it finally got fixed.
