  I started having some sort of trouble with our TK-50 tape drive on:
	microvax II-gpx
	Ultrix 1.2 (yeah, I know, I need to upgrade)

  Trouble  seemed to start after installation of another disk drive.  I
was able to put in someone else's drive and got this to work but noticed his
controller (on a VMS machine) had all the dip switches on 0 (OFF) and my
controller had #2&3 on one pack and #6 on the other pack as 1(ON).  I may
have accidentally switched them  when I was doing a lot of board/drive
swapping.  It seems to work ok now though it seems somewhat slower (Yes,
such a thing is possible) than before.  I wouldn't bother except to do
any future software upgrades, it looks like tape would be the only media
available.  Thanks.
BTW - could someone send a "ls -l" of their /dev entries?
