While I can not speak for this particular drive, the US08 is capable of
emulating TMSCP as well as MSCP.  Would you not want to use this for getting
your tape drive going?

On our system it makes it look like a a TK-50 device.

We also use a straight 50 conductor ribbon cable to hook the components to
each other.  Seems to work very well.
