Mike --

Thanks for the very helpful information about this drive. The
"documentation" consists of a user's manual with no technical data. The
connector on the TS2068 version is different than what you describe but
otherwise it seems the same.

There were actually two versions for the TS2068, each using a slightly
different tape. Both types seem to be equally unreliable. The tapes
self-destruct if you look at them the wrong way.

In fact, these are absolutely the crappiest storage devices I have ever seen
used on any computer.

Any challengers for worst storage device?
