Hi,

I acquired Chad Fernandez's Cipher C8803 tape drive (and with it a lifetime
supply of foam peanuts). (Thanks, Chad! Got the drive, the QBus adapter is on
its way.)

Does anyone have documentation and/or cabling and interface info (physical
and/or software) for this drive? Or know of a scanned or other online
reference for it? From what I read, Seagate ate Connor ate Archive ate Cipher
and there's nothing left.

Cipher Tape drive (open reel streamer)
Model C880340-96-15250
Part Number 961210-001 Option B

Thanks,
Brian
