Oh, weird, I have exactly the same Cifer front-loading tape
drive in my living room, next to a CDC FSD 500 disk drive.
My FSD 500 has a blue front panel, though. It's an SMD
interface drive, but I have no source for jumper
information and I need to change the sector size to suit a
Sun host.
Anybody know what the interface on the Cifer tape drive is?
The drive came with two huge, rubber-sleeved 50-way ribbon
cables. I think both cables are required for the
interface, so it doesn't look like SCSI...
