Does 4.2 know about tu81 (and can you boot from it?)

[Ted Nolan]

Hi folks,

I will shortly have to bring up 4.2 bsd on a 780 with a tu81 tape drive.
I can't find this one mentioned anywhere in the installing 4.2 guide,
and the DEC rep's offhand claim that it was software compatible with a tu80
seems not to be playing out.  Does vanilla 4.2 know about tu81's? 
(ie do they really emulate a tu80 or what?) and is it possible to boot
the distribution tape from one?  Any information or suggestions will
be appreciated... Mail only please, if the response is interesting
I will relay it to the net.

				Thanks
