- Sorry if I was a bit unclear. I've had a closer look a the box and it
- contains a 327Mb drive, a Micropolis labeled 1558, ESDI interface.
- The tape-streamer is a Wangtek QIC-24.
- From what I can see of the controller, w/o disassembling the whole unit,
- it says 'Emulex'. MD-21 I guess.
-
- Any more clues, anybody?
