Hello again everyone,

Today I would like to move a Cipher M890 or M891 1/2 inch magnetic
tape drive with a Pertec interface from an IRIS 3130 to a PI.

The first problem is that the VME connectors on the 3000 seem to be
different than on the PI.  The next one I can only guess would be a
driver problem?

Can anyone help me out?  Would the Xylogics 772 1/2 mag tape controller
work with that drive?  Should I just chuck it out the window and by a
new SCSI drive?

Thanks in advance,

Bruno
