Subject: Re: Can anyone identify this 9-track drive?
Sorry, but I dont agree. The 34xx series do not have a plastic cover between
the lid and the drive mechanism. The H and W sizes dont match either, but
the correspond to the M4 drive

I picked up an
old 9-track drive and thus far I've been unable to
identify what, precisely, it is.
I have a couple of pictures at:
http://yahozna.dyndns.org/scratch/9-track
It has no manufacturer or brand information on it
other than an
"Interface Data, Inc." label on the front and a label on the back
indicating that it is Model No. 9946.
Hunting around at interface-data.com, externally it looks somewhat like
the rebranded Qualstar 3402/3404 they sell.
