DECtape, originally called Microtape, is a magnetic tape data storage medium used with many Digital Equipment Corporation computers, including the PDP-6, PDP-8, LINC-8, PDP-9, PDP-10, PDP-11, PDP-12, and the PDP-15. On DEC's 32-bit systems, VAX/VMS support for it was implemented but did not become an official part of the product lineup.

tu58em is a software emulation of a DECtapeII TU-58 block addressable cartridge tape drive. It requires only a standard Windows PC as a host with a (real or USB) RS232 serial comm port to connect to the target system.

This video is an introduction to DECTAPE II media, the DEC TU58 drive, some ideas about imaging old DECTAPE II cartridges, and a teardown of a TEAC MR-30 dat...

2017年2月6日 · Precompiled tu58fs for Win32, Linux x64, RaspberryPi and BeagleBoneBlack platform. several TU58 and RL02 images for XXDP and RT-11. pack&unpack, run a XXDP with 8 TU58's, and run a RT-11 with ADVENture. New is the "--boot" option: tu58fs can download and start a TU58 "DD" bootloader over serial console line.

Tu58fs is a tool to share files between a DEC PDP-11 and a modern computer. The software emulates an TU58 DECtape II, which is controlled by the PDP over serial RS232 line. The "tape content" appears as plain files in a shared directory, and can be accessed on both sides.

TU58 DECtape II Emulator. Verion: April 2014. Purpose To emulate the Digital Equipment TU58 DECtape II using a microcontroller and a SD-card. The emulator was developed using open soure hardware and software components. The microcontroller is an Arduino Serial (with a AVR ATmega328, http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Hardware).

2011年10月5日 · A TU58 is a digital tape cassette unit used as a boot media and as mass storage on older Digital Equipment PDP-11 and VAX computers.

TU58FS is "yet another" emulator for DEC's TU58 DECtape II device. Like all TU58 emulators tu58fs runs on a Windows or Linux host and is operated by a PDP-11 or VAX over serial RS232 line. The big new thing with tu58fs: It is designed as …
