 Ive aquired an old Archive tape drive that was one part of a
Tallgrass combined tape/hard-disk unit. The hard-disk and the
controller are long gone , I have the drive , the Tallgrass box
and its powersupply.

 The drive is labeled 'Archive model 9045B'. It appears to have the
same interface connector as newer tape drives. Is this standard ?
 I want to hook it onto a SCSI system , and I believe that Adaptec
makes a tape-to-SCSI board.
 At this stage Id like to know what the interface is on the 9045B , and
what its capacity is. If it proves to have a QIC-?? interface , ill chase
up a controller board for it ..
