How does one get a tape out of a TK70 when it doesn't want to let it
go? Tried powering on / off a few times, hitting the unload button 3
or 4 times in quick succession etc.
Wish the TK50 / TK70 QBUS controller cards had some firmware
diagnostics that one could access, like retension tape, unload tape,
etc...

There is a hole in the PCB on the bottom of the drive right
below the
casette motor. You can see a Phillips screw through this hole. You
can put a screw driver into it and manually rewind the tape with it.
(At least this was so on a TK50 I had to do this.)

'tis the same on the TK70 tape drive, I've manually rewound the tape
& got it out of the drive now.
