I'd be interested in one of these... Now I just need to find myself
another 9track tape drive (working, this time). I'll contact you offlist.
I spotted a
few cards at the local dismantlers the other day, and I
wonder what they are:
- dual-height (2 card edge fingers) with a sticker reading " MTI Model
MSV05B" and a 50-pin header at the outside edge of the card
I think it's a tape controller for drives with a Pertec interface? At
least that's what a "MSV05" appears to be. Or does this by any chance look
like the following board ftp://zane.brouhaha.com/pub/dan/viking_scsi/qdt.jpg 
- quad-height
with a silk-screened Dilog logo and DQ130 model number
and 2 50-pin headers at teh ccard edge.
From the field Guide:
DQ130 Q Dilog
DU120 tape controller. Emulates TM11.
4 Drives. Pertec I/O >One machine I also spotted there was labelled

Why don't you post a list of the cards in the machine, if you can get back
to it before they want it 'gone away'.
