.5" tape drives and 386 XENIX

[Phil Hughes]

I am looking for a way to talk to 9-track, 1/2" tape from 386 XENIX.
I have the tape drive and an Overland TC-50 controller (that has been
talking on 286 XENIX for a while).  The solutions seem to be in the 
order of buy a new controller and some software.  This equals $1100 to
$2000 depending on the choice.

Seems to me like a little driver software and the TC-50 should work
fine on the 386.  Anyone know of such stuff and/or an inexpensive
way to get this together.  This includes the idea of a SCSI to Pertec
adapter and driver software.

Thanks.
