- Howdy folks,
-
- A customer who is decommissioning a 3B15 and I were talking
- about what to do with the machine, and we had a silly thought:
- why not mount his 3B2/500 inside the cabinet and try to make use
- of the 1600bpi tape drive and 340MB SMD drives? It actually
- began to make some sense (well, at least the tape drive part
- because he needs one), and we wondering how possible this is.
-
- My two specific questions are:
-
- [*] Does the 3B15 tape drive use a Pertec interface?
-
- [*] The drives are big Control Data (please do not use the
- "S" word) 340MB drives with SMD interfaces, does anybody
- make a SCSI to SMD controller?
-
- Has anybody done either of these thing?
-
- T-I-A,
- Stephen
