Summary: what talks to this chip?

In the AT&T Unix PC (aka the s4, safiri, mini frame, all by convergent) the
floppy controller is said to be a WD2797.  I'd like to rip out the floppy
and put in some sort of tape drive.  Does anyone have any hard info on
what devices will talk to this chip?  I just need hardware - I'll do the
software myself.

Ideally, I'd like a 2-40 meg tape drive that is cheap, cheap, cheap.
