Fixing a TK86

Hello Everyone,

I seem to be in possesion of a "broke" TF86 drive. As far as I can tell the
only thing "wrong" with it is that it seems to have unhooked its "tongue"
(the take up leader) and I've fixed that. Now I was wondering if there were
any tests I could run on it before I tried putting it into a chassis to see
what it does :-). It has a separate "bridge board" that converts its HD50
connector to DSSI.

Some things I'm trying to ascertain:
        1) Can I convert it to a TZ86 using the bridgeboard from a TK85? (they at
least share connector similarity.
        2) Is there any way to test it without hooking it to a DSSI bus?
        3) Does anyone know the MOLEX part number for the 5 space DSSI
           power plug?
