   You got that backwards.  I've done a standalone backup boot off TU58,
   later followed by an OS upgrade.

   I've seen, but not used, DECtape.  I had no idea how fast it actually
   moved the small amount of data it held.

   I always suspected that DECtape is what the first initial in TECO
   refers to.  8-)

   Of course, not to be confused with TK cartridges from DEC, which
   often have the DECtape moniker on them.
