I have before me a rather nice box (a CCI Power 6/32, but let's not
start advertising for them, shall we) about to have a large amount
of disk capacity descend upon it. Unfortunately the Analysts, along
with their 150,000 tapes of data, have decreed that they'll stick to
the (slower) 11/785s unless there's some way of reading in the afore-
mentioned data. Preferably not across the Ethernet.
.P
We presently have a 25ips (if that) 1600bpi Cipher taking up space.
We *need* something like 120+ips, 6250/1600bpi start-stop. Our present
controller is for a Multibus, with an adaptor (the correct titles are:
Ciprico TAPEMASTER with a Helvetta Engineering adaptor).
Education regarding straight VersaBus or `safe' combinations of foreign
boards and adaptors will be appreciated, and/or descriptions of
standard interfaces to real tape decks.
