Does anyone have the necessary ?ROMs? to upgrade a DEC TK50Z-FA tape drive
to the TK50Z-GA? Or perhaps a dead TK50Z-GA that you might consider parting
with the ROMs??
The -FA model apparently *only* works on the MicroVAX 2000, and I'd like to
connect and use this drive on my Vaxstation 3100/76 SPX. On a similar note,
I'm also looking for the 68pin - 50pin external SCSI cable to connect the
MicroVAX to an external SCSI device.
thanks

I think I've got a copy of the ROM's on my one computer. If you don't hear
from me in a couple of days drop me a note privately to
remind me.
However, if you also need that funky 68pin - 50pin external SCSI cable (I
could have sworn the Vaxstation 3100/76 SPX didn't need it), you might want
to consider getting a TZ30 drive and installing it internally.
I believe you're correct about the -FA only working on the
MicroVAX/VAXstation 2000, it's something to do with the braindamaged SCSI
controller in the 2000, IIRC.
