Hello I have a VT103 system and I would like to make copies
of the operating system . The media is Tu58-K .
Can I use the update utility under XXDP to make copies of the
tape or is there a finger routine somewhere around that would
let me copy the tape ?
thank you

I can't answer your first question (about whether XXDP
or another operating system can make copies of TU58
system cartridges) although I'd bet RT11 can do it;
wasn't there a special PIP switch (/Y?) to copy the
boot block? And maybe FILEX and RESORC can do it too?
But I can tell you that the protocol for the TU58 is
*MUCH* too complicted to allow you to toggle-in any
meaningful TU58 program. I wrote some programs once
that operated the TU58 and it was a LOT of work!
