	The '''TU56 DECtape Transport''' is an enhanced successor to the [[TU55 DECtape Transport\|TU55]] [[DECtape]] [[magnetic tape drive]]. The usual configuration was dual-drive (referred to as 'dual transport'), but a single-drive version, the '''TU56H''', was available. The '''TU56M''' (dual) and '''TU56HM''' (single) model ~~include~~ 5 G888 Read/Write Amplifier [[FLIP CHIP]]s,for use with [[device controller]]s which do not include that functionality.
