   SCHWINNG!

   I just put together a VMS VAXstation with TZ30 with the express 
purpose of making a SAVESETof the MV-II Diags - Customer and Field 
Maintenance - tapes that I have.  The Maintenance tape is suspect, so a 
comparison tape would be groovy.

   I'll image them and then pass them on if somebody else wants the 
originals.

   I also have Terry Murphy's MV-I Diags on RX50 that I need to image. 
I just last month got a probably-good floppy drive for the MV-II, so I 
should be able to image them if not test them.

   Al, do you want copies of this stuff?
