I have one - for a MicroVAX 2000. I rarely used it.

We had one in the 1980s. You are right. It didn't.
TK50 on QBUS with an TQK70 controller, which doubled
the memory of the
TQK50, which was capable of streaming ...
Ooh! That works? I might have to nab a TQK70 for that MicroVAX II I
have (the one we had at work in the 1980s. I got it when the company
folded).
Mostly, really just need to image any tapes I have more than write new
tapes, presuming the media hasn't degraded too much in the past 30
years.
