Thanks, Tony. Mystery solved. The drive in question probably takes
DC600HC or DC600XTD "Iotamat" preformatted tapes. That would explain
the 3M-labeled EPROM on the tape MPU board (uses an MC6800). Well,
the drive will go back onto the shelf; I don't even know what the 50-
conductor interface is supposed to connect to, though I suspect it
may be a cousin of a QIC-36 type.
Cheers,
Chuck
