[comp.sys.hp] IBM 8mm tape drive on a 9000/380

marka@dsinet (Mark Anacker) (05/22/91)

Hi,
  We have an IBM 7208 8mm tape drive sitting here (salvaged from our RS6000)
that we would like to put on our HP 380.  Before we spend all the time
pioneering this somewhat dubious procedure, we'd like to find out if anyone
else out there has tried it.  The tape drive has a somewhet non-standard
SCSI connector (why am I not surprised), but we can get a "real" cable to go
the HP.  I suspect we're in for a lot of fun trying to figure out the minor
node bits...

  Anybody have any suggestions?
