An 88780, probably.
Bear in mind that you'll need some fairly
specialized (and expensive --
in the $300 region) software if you want to use that drive on any sort
of PC.
Someone should have warned me about that before I started using one with
no special software whatsoever. :-)
It responds to plain old SCSI tape commands, so any software that talks
to SCSI tape drives should work.
