There's a rumor, according to Digital Review, that DEC 4mm tape
drives don't work very well, if at all, and that DEC is giving VAX
4000 customers 8mm drives instead of 4mm drives. We've had one on order 
from DEC for a while now and are wondering when and what we might get.
Thanks for your comments.
