I unfortunately must show my ignorance and ask "What > is an MX Card?" Are you referring to the SCCI controller or a card > physically attached to the tape drive. I believe the MX board is the second from the back ot the unit. You should see an 8-position DIP switch on the right (looking from the front). Unfortunately, the units I have have special screws for which I don't have any screwdrivers available here. I'll see if I can arrange something tomorrow.
