Hello there,
I'm new to these forums, so please excuse any etiquette blunders I may make.
I've recently started a new job and one of my first tasks is to identify and attempt to re-use and old tape drive that's been lying around the office for many years. It's a Cipher M990 unit (as far as I can tell) with model number M990110-00-0100U.
However the big question is, what type of interface does it have? The cable coming out of the back is attached to two 50? pin edge connectors and ends in a DC62 male plug (3 x 21 pins). I can't find an interface board for this in the pile of old boards lying around, so all I can guess is that it's a proprietary SCSI or Pertec interface.
Has anyone seen one of these types of interface and can you help me identify it?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
Andrew.
