The magtape is now functioning again;  as suspected, it turned out
to be misoriented cables.  Inverting all three cables at the drive
cleared up the problems.  I really don't understand how Plessey got
those cables into the controller the other way around -- the way we
plugged them back in looked like the only possible way -- but that's
the way it must have been.  A pox on people who use nonpolarized
connectors.
