Advice on VAX peripherals wanted

[Gert Svensson]

We are just going to buy our first VAX 11/750. Currently we are using
a PDP11/45 and an Altos 68000. We have two main alternatives (both
including a 11/750 CPU and 4 Mb of memory):

Alt 1:
	DEC RP07 disc
	DEC TU77 tape
	DEC RH750 MBA

Alt 2:
	Fujitsu "Eagle" (M2351A) disc 414 Mb
	Emulex SC750 disc controller
	Cipher M891 tape drive (1600/3200 BPI)
	Emulex  TC12 tape controller

Would anybody like to comment !

Is the DEC RA81 a better choice compared to the RP07 ?

Has anyone tested the Cipher tape drive ?

Does anyone know about any reliable 6250 BPI tape station (TU78 ?
streamers ? ) ? Is there any cheap 6250 stations ?
