Probably later than my Adic drive, then.  It's got a 6800 and a 2716 
EPROM with a 3M copyright sticker on it--one of several cards stacked 
up in a little card cage with backplane under and behind the tape 
area.  If you stick a traditional DC300/600... tape in it, it spins 
it briefly before announcing with a loud buzz and LED that there's a 
fault condition.
