I'll never know unless I ask - does anyone have a TU56 for sale or trade? Ideally in the $10/lb range, or trade for an Altair 8800. I'm in the Chicago area, will be driving to VCF East and Midwest in the next few months, happy to drive a couple hundred extra miles to retrieve said tape drive. Shipping is a bit frightening, but will certainly be considered. The drive will be interfaced to my 8/E, most likely with a TD8E interface, but a good or restorable unit in any configuration will do!
