1) Can a TK70 drive read/write TK50 tapes? I'm
looking for media for the
TK70 to test it and all I've found so far are TK50 tapes (or are they the
same tape?)
I seem to recall reading that the TK70 tape is a Compac II while the TK50
is Compac. A while ago, I noted some TK70s at a local surplus outfit for
a few bucks apiece. Let me know if you want me to pursue it for you.

2) What termination requirements are there on DSSI
disks? I powered up the
two RF71's and the KQSFA DSSI controller in the BA213, they spun up and the
ready lights were on but when UNIX probed the controller it saw only one
drive and when I tried to read that drive its FAULT light started flashing.
The cabinet is set up to connect the card to a ribbon cable that connects
both drives and then ends at a funky high density connector (looks a lot
like SCSI-2).
Thanks,
