Continuing the ``let's add in a secondary TK50 tape'' mode.....

My machine has the following cards:

 (*)      SQ706A   M3104   M9047   M9047   M7808   M7606
          HD SCSI  DHV11A  grant   grant   MS630   KA630
                                   (***)

 (**)     M7559
          TKQ70

probably want to add the TKQ50 at (*), and a DELUA (if I can scrounge
one up) at (**).  Also, if I can scrounge a 4M ram card at the grant
card (***)

So, the current card settings on the TKQ70 are:

SW1 =   off off off off off off off off

SW2 =   ON  ON  off ON  off off off off

J1 =    ON ON off off ON off ON off off off off

J2 = ON

J3 = ON

J4 = ON

What needs to be set to make the thing play as a secondary tape
controller with NetBSD?

Sadly, the HD scsi controller is only the HD one and not the combined
HD+tape one.  Drat.....

Say, anyone got as spare DIFFERENTIAL SCSI TAPE CARD, I believe the
numbers are either SQ713A or SQ3723A, both by dilog.  If I can find
one of those, I might can get my old IBM differential 9 track reel
tape deck up and running for some real Olde Tyme tape fun.  Would it
be likely to work?

Also, anyone perchance got a spare TC15 or DQ322 or DQ302 or CTS11
1/4 inch cartridge tape interface card?  That would also be of use
to write data exchange tapes.  Where do I find out more info on
these cards?

And, lastly, perchance anyone got a spare DELQA (or even DENUA?)
with the cable and patch panel?

Yeah, I know, dream on... but, what the heck, I might get lucky,
right? .....(:+}}.....

Thanks
