	The '''TU80 Tape Transport''' was a manually-loaded nine-track [[magnetic tape drive]] sold by [[DEC]] for the [[PDP-11]] and [[VAX]] computers ~~using~~ the [[Pertec tape interface]].		The '''TU80 Tape Transport''' was a manually-loaded mid-range nine-track, streaming, [[ANSI]]-standard [[magnetic tape drive]] sold by [[DEC]] for the [[PDP-11]] and [[VAX]] computers. Its recording density of 1600 bpi used [[Phase Encoding\|PE]] [[encoding]], and it used the [[Pertec tape interface]].

	It was manufactured for DEC by Computer Peripherals, Inc. (CPI) of Morristown, Pennsylvania. CPI was a subsidiary of [[Control Data Corporation]] (CDC), which besides being a computer manufacturer themselves also provided [[peripheral]]s and storage components for other vendors.

	The TU80 appears to have been controlled by a [[Motorola]] [[MC6802\|6802]] processor, a variant of the [[MC6800\|6800]] with 128 bytes of internal [[Random Access Memory\|RAM]] and an internal [[clock]] oscillator. There were also five [[6821 PIA\|6821]] [[Parallel Interface Adapter]] [[integrated circuit\|chips]] for interfacing to the various parts of the [[bus]] and [[computer operator\|operator]] panel etc.		The TU80 appears to have been controlled by a [[Motorola]] [[MC6802\|6802]] processor, a variant of the [[MC6800\|6800]] with 128 bytes of internal [[Random Access Memory\|RAM]] and an internal [[clock]] oscillator. There were also five [[6821 PIA\|6821]] [[Parallel Interface Adapter]] [[integrated circuit\|chips]] for interfacing to the various parts of the [[bus]] and [[computer operator\|operator]] panel etc. The [[firmware]] was stored in an 8KB [[read-only memory\|ROM]] chip.
