[comp.periphs] streaming tape drives on Sun's

Does anyone have experience of the Sun 1/2" 9-track 6250bpi tape deck
(sourced from Fujitsu) in respect of its ability to stream or not on
Sun-4/280 type units. We understand this unit is a 75ips streamer, but
has it a fall back to start-stop and at what speed.
