That -? does look odd. Could the UQSSP have been added in later?
You have nothing hooked to it if your only tape is a TF series drive,

I don't know what to make of the self tests. Perhaps someone configured a
script of tests. There is supposed to be a way to do that.

What does T 9E show? On other/older machine this lists the selftests.

Sorry for top posting
