Jerome Fine replies:

I feel the same way. I am currently looking into going to my local
Radio Shack to get a degausser to make TK50 tapes acceptable
to a TK70.

Or else they have all the RX50 drives that they want.

Right now, the only use I have for an RX50 drive is for the transfer of small

a Zip drive.
