I need any information on the performance of DECs TA79 and TU79 Tape
Drives.  What is your maintenance history, down-time, media damage,
loading problems, I/O errors, etc.  In generalm I am asking for
overall satisfaction (or dissatisfaction) with these tape drives.

As an alternative, does anybody know of a third-party controller that
is compatable with the HSC50 that will allow IBM tape drives to 
operate on VAXClusters.

Any Information would be helpful.  Thanks.
