I have a Minivac 601, but it is in storage and I am not sure if it is
working. I'm thinking of restoring it and bringing to VCF East. The video
is not mine - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6OA8HfnxxU

I know what you mean about the DC300 carts...what a lousy design...at
least from a longevity standpoint. I've had numerous nightmares with those
cartridges in a number of vintage systems that I've got. Broken tension
bands, sticky tape...just plain bad stuff. Plus, the tape transports in
the 4051/4052 are fussy as can be. I have a 4907 single 8" floppy disk
drive for my 4051, and it works great, but I don't have the proper ROMpack
module to use it with the 4052, which apparently needs a different ROMpack
than the 4051 to talk to the 4907. So far, such a ROMpack has proven
elusive.

I have the Tektronix 4052/4054 File Manager ROM Packs. Can be seen here:

I should have the documentation on them also. Only problem is they are
buried somewhere in a cargo container.
Are you still looking for one?
