Right.  I forgot DECtapes are block addressable.

Does anyone need any RSX Files-11 on-disk format documentation?  I have a paper copy of Andy Goldstein's 1979 Files-11 documentation.  I imagine Al does too.  I could try to find out what the RSX manuals say about the initialization parameters used for a DECtape.  It is quote likely they don't make DECtape a special case, but use the same parameters for any small capacity disk (like a floppy).
