yes - that damn tiny red plastic key. it's not like the PDP11 ones...
btw my boot tape is "BE-T1731-ME TU58#34 VAX 11725/730 CONSOLE"

I wonder if it is possible to load BSD (quasisaurus) on TU58, as I have
no 9 track take or ethernet on the system. It might be possible to write
BSD load images from a PC to the TU-58, as I know VMS be be loaded like
this.

This one is standing at the address below. I certainly could use some
support with this project (of course I will pay any costs for shipment).
