We have a TA11 drive set at LSSM, but we are still looking for a
controller.

32MB really was ginormous back in the day; our
labs had RT on RK05's,
which held about 2.5MB.? Way more than a DECtape.
? When I started out, I had it on RL01s.? But I suspect you have a few
years on me. ;)? That was quite a bit of space at the time.
