If it sells for less than $50, I'd say "go for it". The TUK-50
is not that often on sale. With this module you can connect
the TK50 to any UNIBUS system.
You need some flat cable from the module to the TK50,
but it is a "straight" cable IIRC. If needed, I can check.
My 11/44 has a TK50 (thus a TUK-50 module installed).
Well, $55 with free shipping is close enough! I bought the card, which I could always use
in my 11/44 project, too.
Now I'm trying to learn about the drives. I understand the TUK50 board has a 26ish-pin
header for the drive cable. I see an ugly-looking TK50D external drive on eBay, but it
appears to have a 50-pin D connector. There are also some TK50Z SCSI (?) external drives
listed, which I presume are not applicable. Maybe I'd need to get an internal drive
and cobble together a power source.

Note that the M7546 is for QBUS. Saw a few of those, ranging
from some $25 (acceptable) to $799.99 (way insane crazy!)
That's because I just bought the only M7547 listed! ;)
