I read a product announcement several years ago about a SCSI to 9 track
bridge adapter.  Since I have a 9 track tape drive (w/o a suitable
interface card) I would like to hook this thing up.  I've called
several of the more well known vendors of IBM-PC compatible 9 track
stuff, and they don't have SCSI interfaces.  I'd be willing to use
a non-SCSI interface, but after they hit with a hefty price tag for
the interface card itself, I scream RAPE when they tell me what they
want for the Unix driver software to make the thing useable to me.

So, does anybody know of a bridge card to hook a standard Pertec
interface 9 track up to a SCSI (Adaptec 1542) interface, that will
do the nice plug-n-play SCSI thing?

Thanks!
