If it is anything like installing NetBSD, which I have done on a
VAXstation with a DLT4 drive, it should be 512 byte.
So, while I do not know for sure for Ultrix and MicroVAX, 512 is
probably a good starting point? Hopefully someone else will *actually*
know.

Subject: Ultrix Tape Blocks
Warren,
I wonder if you can give me a referral. I want to install Ultrix-32
on my MicroVAX II using the ancient TK-50 tape drive. I know the tape
files are on your archive, but I need to know the block size for each
of the many files; it can vary a lot.
Who might be able to help me with this?
Matthew Whitehead
