it's likely that the TF85 (DSSI version) may as well, and I have one of those.   That may be one more option to get my huge pile of TK50s read.

I had a feeling the later TKs read TK50. I read it on on of HP's DLT
compatibility docs but couldn't remember if it was TK50 or TK70 that
was the oldest compatible format. I have a SCSI-II DLT4000 drive (TK88
or 89??) and I know that doesn't read any old TK tapes, only DLT1,2
etc.

Yes, it should.
