[comp.periphs] 3rd-party cartridge tapes on Sun

merlin@hqda-ai.UUCP (04/30/87)

     I want to put a cartridge tape drive on a Sun 3/160 deskside
computer system.  Sun sells a cartridge subsystem, but they say
they can't retrofit it into an existing system.  (It must be
ordered from the factory with a cart already installed.)

     I believe the Sun subsystem consists of an Adaptec 4000 SCSI
interface.  I'm not sure what the tape drive is.

     Does anyone have any experiences to share regarding
retrofitting a cartridge tape drive to a Sun?  A different
controller is OK, if there is a suitable device driver provided.

     HELP, I NEED AN ANSWER QUICK.  REPLIES VIA E-MAIL PLEASE.
