An 80186 (I think; might have been an 8085) on the > controller card interfaced to one of the two possible host buses. I have (packed away) a TK-50 drive and a TKZ-50 drive. I also have a uVAX 2000 (KA410) and a uVAX 3100 (and also a VAXstation 3100). One type of drive came with the one VAX, and the other with the other. In my recollection, which may of course be off, it was the TK-50 (not SCSI, but cabling etc looks the same) that came with the 2000, and the TKZ-50 (SCSI) came with the 3100. So perhaps $SUBJECT occurs because it is the wrong type of tape drive? -Olaf. -- Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert -- rhialto at falu dot nl ___ Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on \X/ no account be allowed to do the job. --Douglas Adams, "THGTTG"
