HP Colorado Trakker 250
One of consumer-grade streamers. These units were cheaper,
slower and used parallel port or floppy interface instead of
SCSI. This unit has a strange parallel port interface, similar
to EPIA circuit.
The principle of operation is similar to all QIC tape streamers.

Notice how the tape is loaded in, it sticks out of the streamer and it's a normal thing. Last picture shows power supply pinout (DIN5, 1 - 16V AC 2A, 2 - Center tap, 3 - 16V AC, 4 - GND, 5 - nc) |
