We may soon acquire a CDC 92185 1/2" Tape Drive (Keystone III) that is
currently connected to a VAX11/750.  Does anyone know of a controller
which will allow this drive to be connected to a Sun 3/160?  I know of the
Xylogics 472; are there any others?  Also, will the controller still work
in the Sun if it is upgraded to a Sparc?  Any info on vendors and prices
will also be of help.

Please reply directly to me via email if possible.  I will summarize to
this list if there's any interest.

Thanks in advance,
