One of our people bought an "Archive Corp". (sold for use with IBM PC's)
so its input connector is a "QIC-02 format".
It usually comes with an IBM AT interface card.
But you throw that away and buy from Emulex an MT-02 interface card.
That will interface a QIC-02 to a SCSI system.

Thewhole mess cost less than $1000.

(all of this poop was painfully extracted from someone who bought one
-- he bought his by mail order from CompuSave (they advertise ibn
byte) -- (the drive, that is)
the controller came from an electronics supplier
(like Hamilton Avnet, or Almac, or Arrow....)

i apologize for the disjointed nature of the reply, but this all
happened three years ago, and he was trying to remember things with
no warning...
