  My Vax 4000 has a TF85 DLT tape drive which works
fine, but is missing
 the plastic panel that has the lettering describing the function of
 the various LEDs on the front of the drive.  Could someone tell me
 what the different LEDs mean?  Once I know I can make a snazzy paper,
 stick on version.... ( That's what hobby computing is about! ) 
Are these the same drives that the MicroVax II use? If so, I can take a
picture of the legend on my drive. 
No, the TF85 is a DSSI drive.  The MicroVax II used the TK50 and TK70 
drives, which look quite similar.
