   Thanks for the suggestion, but I've BTDT with the leader on both TK50 
and TZ30.  The leader is attached on both the TZ30s that are screaming.

   In fact, both drives will successfully load, unload, and allow 
insertion/ejection of a cartridge, as long as they aren't plugged in to 
a SCSI bus.  I've tried them on a PDP-11, a MV3100-90, and a PeeCee with 
an old Tekram SCSI adapter.

   And yes, I'm attaching the ribbon cable correctly - I have a third 
TZ30 that works perfectly on the same systems.
