That's my understanding too - complicated by the fact that are two
Tx/Rx pairs for the two drives IIRC...
I don't think that is the case. There is a single 3-wire UART interface between the
console and the TU58 drive controller board. The single drive controller board runs both
of the TU58-XA tape mechanisms.

Thanks for that. Are you able to provide confirmed working details &
pinouts for the cable? IIRC it was just three wire; Rx/Tx/Gnd? Would
help if I could have confirmed working setup there.
I'll need to dig inside my machine to verify the wiring; I'll try to remember to
do that sometime today. I'm pretty sure that it's a simple 3-wire connection at
38400 baud.
