Does anyone make a controller that will convert Sun's older 1/2"
1600/6250 bpi tape drive to SCSI? I believe the drive is a Fujitsu M2444
with a Pertec interface, which ordinarily is controlled by a Xylogics 472.
What I would like to do is either replace the Pertec interface with a
SCSI interface, or add a Pertec ->SCSI converter if such exists.

This is a free-standing SCSI<->Pertec board (I mounted mine on the back of the tape drive) that can deal with most 1600/3200/6250 bpi Pertec interface drives. After modifying a couple of files and rebuilding the kernel the drive does everything it could on the previous controler (but faster). -- Reg.Clemens clemens@afwl.af.mil
