At least since you mention buying the hardwareeL on eBay I'm assuming you're a Hobbyist.  If you've got data already on tapesJ that you need on a machine without a tape drive, again you can cluster the, two together and retrieve the data that way.  K Personally I wouldn't mess with TK50's or TK70's if you don't have to.  I'maF using a cheap Exabyte 8mm jukebox, and a TLZ06 4mm drive on my OpenVMSF systems.  Of course if you can afford it the way to go would be a niceJ DLT7000 tape drive, with a pile of tapes (not sure what the DEC name wouldE be), however, it wouldn't be able to do anything with your TK50's andt TK70's.p  F Also I don't believe you'll find a drive that will read and write bothL TK50's and TK70's.
