Maybe not. IIRC, the TU78 had a bunch of teething problems. I definitely remember many 2 AM phone calls from the night shift operators when the overnight backup runs failed (I think the tape would run off the end of the reel). Much back and forth with the DEC hardware and VMS engineers before it finally got fixed.
