Just like to have a confirmation that it can read 7 and 9 track tapes

--
7 and 9 track 1/2" tapes have different track spacing, and require
different head stacks for each format.
the only drive I have ever heard of that was capable of reading both
were specially configured HP 7970's
Good luck finding a drive capable of reading 2400' 7 track tapes.
It took me several years to find just a 7 track head stack, and it
cost me $500.
