This is "tomorrow". More details from that

"Sub ASSY C3987 C"
Hmmm, that Top Assy number has TC02 in it Tim. Also, when looking at the
board from the component side up, edge fingers downward, there is a male
26-pin header at top left and a male 20-pin header at top right. In top
center is a 4-position DIP switch (SW1) and a single LED (CR1). Just to
left of center and downward there are SW2 and SW3 which are both
10-position DIP switches. "C3987" is on a small bar coded sticker under
the
left-hand 50-pin header.
With that TC02 in the Top Assy number would that mean this is indeed a
TC02
tape I/F as you figured?
It's exactly the TC02 that I have (and have the manual for). The two male
headers you mentioned are for diagnostics connections the factory used. It
can handle up to 4 tape drives (that's what 4 of 10-way DIP switch are
for).
I can dig out the manual for you next week -- sorry, this week is too
hectic to do it right now. You might want to send me some private email to
remind me, of course :-)
If so what tape drive model(s) should I be looking
for?
Any Pertec-interface drive. Kennedy drives were popular.
