I know who had a TU56 DECtape I stashed away. Not sure if it's still 
around or even works, but I've seen it where it was once stored.

There are functional DECtape hardware emulators around, so no need for 
working hardware.

But then VSI is staring at an ever-increasing pile of new hardware 
support work forward, and not a pile of remedial work backward.
