Well, obviously there are differences. The TE16 is a Massbus tape drive. The TS11 is a Unibus thing. Totally different. Both in how they connect, how the programming model is, the exact layout of registers, and of course then, through which bus interface you program them. In essence, they

A simh VAX-11/780 may be configured with a lot of simulated hardware. VMS 1.0 has drivers for only a very small subset of these. VMS 1.5 has a few more. Peter and myself used VMS 3.0 with a TS11 to operate DSC2 in restoring the VMS 1 .5 tape. Indeed the early versions of VMS did not support the

Thanks to Wilm, I now have VMS 1.5 up and running. This is new territory for me since my first exposure to VAXen was in late 1982 when the version was something like 3.0, or just possibly the last version of 2.x. (I didn't pay attention to such things back then. If I could write Fortran programs,

Your approach is correct, I have regularly used it over the past weeks to bring up VMS 1.0. I also saw these CRC errors on restore sometimes. There are two ways around this: 1. Mount the 3.0 tape on a generic (newer) VAX/VMS system, use $MOUNT/OVER=ID and copy the LIBRARY and OPTIONAL
