   Manifest:

Tape:

AQ-GM5AN-DN [v.122 handwritten]	0MUN087161 [or 0MUN0S7161]
MVII DIAG MAINT TK50

AQ-GL5AP-DN		000MRB7535
MV DIAG CUST TK50

RX50:

MicroVAX Diags MDM v2.1 Rx50 Disks A-C

MicroVAX Diagnostics MDM v2.1 A,B,1-8

   None of the floppies are originals, and would not boot the MV-II with 
RX50 I tried them on last year, so they may be MV-I specific, or trash, 
or the RX50 I had was flaky.  I don't know whether either variation is 
complete, but both variations have 2 identical sets, so that's a good 
sign.  As I said, I'm looking to revive the MV-II this month with a 
different RX50 drive, so I'll give it another stab.

   Does anybody know if these should boot on a KA630?  That would be 
Useful Information.

   I *can* attest that the cptape archive I have of the Maintenance 
Diags TK50 will build on a NetBSD machine and will format an RD52 and a 
non-DEC ST251 as an RD32.  I've just never been convinced that the 
original I have is undamaged.
