I remember that the old DEC TK-50 DLT drives would

one go as far as a TK85? Later?
I suspect that a DLT IV drive wouldn't stand a chance.
Anyone have experience with this?
I'm told the -85, -86, and -87 drives can read TK50s, but I haven't
tried it myself. I just set up a TF85 (DSSI) and will be trying it
soon, as I have a few hundred TK50s to image...and I don't want to end
up red-faced. ;)
