Description
===========
The TU78/TA78 and TU79/TA79 tape subsystems are high capacity, high speed,
9-track, 1/2 inch reel-to-reel, dual format, synchronous read after write,
vacuum controlled tape subsystems. Up to 4 tape drives can be connected to
one master formatter which is located in the bottom of the master drive. Two
formatters are available for connection to either the massbus or the HSC
family of controllers using the STI bus. It is vacuum controlled for high
speed and makes it gentler on tapes than tension arm models.
