[net.unix-wizards] SI 9700/STC tape experience?

dmmartindale (07/15/82)

Does anyone have any experience with the Systems Industries 9700 tape
controller and/or STC tri-density tape drive running on an 11/780?
It looks like we will be buying this combination for a 780 that will
be arriving in about a month.
How much does the TM11 driver need to be modified to support the 9700
properly?  Any comments about performance or reliability?
