This is real trivia but I have a BA123 cabinet (MicroVax II) and there a
screws that hold the side panels in place, and mine are missing. Does
anyone know the type of screw I should go look for at the hardware store?
The same cabinet has a TK50 and I foolishly put a cartridge into it and
now it won't come out. It is called being 'stuck'. How do proceed to
get this TK50 cartridge out?
Also, the TQK50 controller never saw the drive and I was wondering if
the PROM's (after 30 years) on the board lose their data?

The panels on mine just clip on, I don?t think there are any screws. The panels don't
stay on very well on mine :-(

You will have to remove the drive and take the cover off the inner reel. It could be that
the tape has become stuck to the heads and you just need to free it.

Not sure, I have never had this problem.
