We might be getting a Mass Spectrometer that uses an 80Mb PC/386 system as
its controller.  Does anyone know if there is a SCSI card and any necessary
software that allows you to attach a 2.5 Gigabyte 8mm tape drive?  Aside
from wanting to store large datasets, our reason for going this route is
to provide tape compatibilitiy with our workstations.

Who might sell such things for a PC/386?  Please send email to
fredrick@ncar.ucar.edu.  Thanks.  --Tim
