I've got a very similar problem. My last remaining TK70
does not eject the tape anymore. It tries to access the
tape, but then all lights of the tape begin to blink
and the drive stops doing anything.
I know that the tape itself is okay. I booted Ultrix of
that tape just before I gave away a MV3400 :-(
