  In this case, I would take the advice seriously.  The TK50 was not designed
  to be a universally compatible SCSI device.  And more than one third-party
  combination of SCSI interface, SCSI disk, and SCSI tape has failed to work.

  Sometimes, the SCSI "standard" seems to have more in common with RS-232 than
  it should....
