Maybe it would be easier to get a MicroVAX 2000 to
hook the TK50Z-GA to!
I bare-bones MV2000 must be fairly inexpensive, right? Anyone got any
extras?!

I will shortly be receiving a MicroVax 3100/90
and a TK50Z-GA
tape drive.
Both have SCSI, and I assumed they would work together.
However, I just read
something that seems to imply the TK50Z-GA is "incompatible"
SCSI, and will
Well, I've never heard of anyone getting it to work with anything else.
:) You could try it. It's the one without the ID selector, right?
I think the ID is fixed, since the other alternative is to pass
it through the cable, and that would be, well, interesting, to say the

confirm this
either way? If it
will work, what type of SCSI cable will I need - a standard
one, or some

proprietary one? If it won't work, is there
any way to "fix"
the TK50Z-GA so
that it will? Thanks.
Um, yes, but it will require the internals from a tk50 drive that will
work ;) (Seriously, the drives are all the same, but some of the logic
that's packed in the case with them is different... so
I've heard.)
