TK50 tapes? Can 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 *may* have a chart on this somewhere... IIRC only the DEC drives
can read them, the Quantum branded ones can't. Ah, that was easy to
google. Looks like a TK87 is the last drive.
