-The '''TU10''' is a classic big [[magnetic tape drive]] from [[Digital Equipment Corporation]], able to store 5-20 Mbytes on a 2400' 0.5" wide [[magnetic tape]] on a standard 10-1/2" reel. It supports 7-track operation at 200, 556, and 800 BPI, and 9-track at 800 BPI.

 The tape transport utilizes a single capstan, with vacuum columns. The TU10 drive contains a fair amount of [[electronics]], in the form of [[FLIP CHIP]] modules in a 19" wide [[wire-wrap]] [[backplane]] (mounted fore and aft in the drive itself).

 It was first used with the [[PDP-10]], with a [[TM10 Magnetic Tape Control|TM10]] [[device controller|controller]]; to connect to [[UNIBUS]] [[PDP-11]]'s, one of the [[TM11 magtape controller|TM11 series]] of magtape controllers is used. Details of the controller-Master interface are given [[TM11 magtape controller#Drive Connection|there]].
-The TM11 controller connects to a 'Master' TU10 drive, which includes extra Flip Chip modules in its backplane; additional 'Slave' drives (up to seven) may be connected to the Master drive. The additional Flip Chips perform extra functions (e.g. [[cyclic redundancy check|CRC]]); they also convert the Positive bus from the controller to the Negative bus native to the TU10. The Master and Slave variants use the same wire-wrap backplane in the drive.
