Subject: Is there a driver available for an Archive 1/4" tape controller

I have acquired an Archive 1/4" tape controller which interfaces a
standard 60 Mb cartridge tape drive to the PC bus. It is a full-length
card with an 8-bit bus connector and was originally sold with
software for use under MS-DOS.  The only identifying markings on it
are a 1985 copyright, and:

assy 80147 (-B?)
FCC ID EAX6GP-SC400S
It has a 2764 ROM with a label on it that says:
ROM ID: 80234-003

I'd like to use this on a 386 under System V (Microport 3.0e or Esix).
Can anyone tell me if there is a Unix driver available for this card, and
if so, where I can get it?  Many thanks.
