I have a TS11 tape drive installed on my MicroVAX II.

	Controller = Emulex TC02/FS
	Tape Drive = Cipher M890 Cachetape(TM)
	Standard csr = 0172520
	Standard intr vector = 224

I desparately need to boot from this device, but of course
the MicroVAX boot ROM never heard of a TS11 tape drive.  You're
supposed to have TK50s.

Anybody know some magic incantations I can type at the console
to boot from a TS11 tape drive?  Something like:

	>>> HALT
	>>> GOTO JAIL
	>>> DONOT COLLECT $200
:-)

Many thanks in advance.
