- If it uses the Pertec interface that used to be pretty much
- the norm on 9-track tape drives, one way to use the drive
- would be to buy an interface kit (AT bus card, wiring,
- software) from Overland Data in San Diego. Call
- 1-800-PC9-TRAK for more information.
-
- It's possible that Cipher can install a SCSI interface in
- the drive. I priced such a modification for a Kennedy
- drive not long go, and it would have cost about twice as
- much as the Overland Data setup.
