Oops! I meant to send this to the list also, instead of just to Allison.

Allison,
 
Thanks for the response to my cry for help! Below is a listing of the
screen display that I get on power up. Most of it seems OK from the
gouge that I picked up. But I have annotated a few items with
queries??? that I am uncertain of.
 
You suggested that the tape might be MKA7 and suggested trying 0-7 for
both. Did you mean MKA(0-7) and MUA(0-7) or b/(0-7)? MUA0 seems to be
the only one of those options that it likes at all. Every other option
is quickly rejected with an 84 FAIL message. Early indications are that
/(1-7) may fail also.
 
By the way, about how long should the boot from tape take, and what are
the TK50Z indications that it is 'doing its thing'? I tend to assume
that the flashing green LED means that it is reading.
