Self-replying for another possibly-dumb question. Would any of the TU58 images
below likely be full VMS installation images, as opposed to just updates and

If you by "full VMS installation" means the whole VMS distribution, as
just opposed to the installation tools, then I don't think that was made
available on TU58 since V4 or so.
It would just be too many tapes...
The standalone BACKUP system, however, should be available on TU58. And
I can see V5.3 standalone BACKUP tapes in there at least.
If so, another option might be to make a fresh installation onto a blank RL02
(I think I have one), so I could then boot from that and try to examine what's
on the R80.
I do not think you can install VMS on an RL02. It's too small.
