Was looking up "9 inch tape" on youtube.. and found this description for their video.
Tape processing on an LSI-11 (PDP-11/03) using a Qualstar Streaming Tape Subsystem. Tape transport has a slightly bent capstan -- drive is very noisy and subject to severe tape jitter. Reading works only 75% of the time.
HOW TO HOOK THIS DRIVE UP TO A PC:
Below that, was a URL that was dead.
Went off to the Internet Wayback Machine, and recovered the link.

removed the file in the destination of the URL and also got this.

::::
For some reason, I've never had luck hot-linking to the Internet Wayback Machine directly, to recover lost hotlinks, but I instead saved the URL for a Google search, to the same service.

Ugly url, but it works.
