Ok, so dynamips is your plan? Cory should be able to help you with that. I haven't messed with dynamips lately.
Once that's up we can talk IOS bits. :)

Okay, I want to get this up and going but I have ZERO experience on Cisco, IOS or anything that emulates it. Google results are a bit confusing, so some pointers would be greatly appreciated!

I think I'm going to end up just cleaning a DAT drive and shoving RSTS/E

I have Exabyte, DDS-3 and TK50 on my PDP-11 at home. I never use the
TK50. :-)
Hopefully, your Exabyte isn't the 8200. ;)
Speaking of the Exabyte 8200...I just found an exabyte 8200 in my MVIII.

it's a good point - I just looked and it's not that different from water. But, I've seen fuel systems that ran on pure methanol corroded pretty quickly if they weren't cleaned out after a run. I guess the corrosion is enhanced in methanol by effects on the surface layer of metals like aluminum and magnesium, that depend on a surface layer to halt corrosion.

Lee, have you looked up the pKa for methanol?

Methanol would do as well but is more poisonous.
Careful with methanol - it's a more potent solvent in general than ethanol
or isopropanol. Lots of rubber and plastic compounds are attacked by
methanol.
Additionally, the H in the OH group isn't held onto as tightly as in the
other organic OH compounds, so methanol is corrosive to metal.
It's also a middlin' good oxidizer for some metals.

A bit odd. I don't remember ever having that problem. I've had drives
that occasionally decided to not give the cartridge back, and I have
had to extract them and manually rewind the tape in (boring as hell),
but after some mucking around I've normally gotten them working again.
But the TK50 is not the best design around, and the operation is
confusing. The TK70 is better... And TK50 exists in different firmware
revisions, and some are quirkier than others.
Agreed with the operation being confusing. ;)

I never remember if it is an 8200 or an 8500. Either way, it's been working fine for the last 20 years or so... :-)
