Apologies for this naive question, but I am new to workstations. I have
a DECstation 2100 in front of me, which has a TK50 drive. I have a TK50
tape with lots of public domain goodies. What do I do next?
I cannot discover how to mount the drive (in software terms, not hardware)
let alone inspect the software.
(when booting, the DEC recognises a TK50 at `tz4' but there is no such
thing in /dev. `setld -l /dev/rmt0h' yields a message telling me to put
tape unit 4 online, but the green light is on already.)
Thanks for any help on this...
