So I got my hands on an HP 88780 1/2" Tape Drive from list Member Mark
(Thanks!). The drive physically looks to be in good shape but was pretty
dirty when I got it. I've cleaned up the drive and powered it up.
The good news:
The drive powers up. Initially I had trouble getting it to load a tape but
that seems to have been resolved.
