Tu58 uses a serial interface and only holds 256k bytes per tape.

the only version of tu58 that is not serial is the one used in the DEC 
PDT11/130 (vt100 with a pdp-11 and tape).

All of the TK50s have a serial interface but it's rather special and the 
levels combined with other signals are not PC compatable.  There are
TK50s (also applies to TLZ30s) with a SCSI interface that should interface 
to most PC SCSI-I interfaces.
