pertec interface

ISA Card? There were several. *very* expensive - maybe $500
or so for maybe 12-14 TTL chips on a short 8-bit ISA card.

I've got one - been thinking (maybe not very seriously) of
putting everything into an ASIC or FPGA as a do-it-yourself
project. Realistically, how many tapes are there out there
that need to be read?

Found a Qualcom open style deck not long ago - it's a SCSI,
and a lot lighter and easier to haul around than those F-880
Cipher pigs. Which are taking up space ''just in case''.
