I believe it was the Xylogics 472 (I've got one at home in my 3/180):
501-1155 Xylogics 472 1/2" Tape Controller Assembly, 9U VMEbus
501-1187 - 9U VME Adapter Assembly for Xylogics 472
370-1067 - Xylogics 472 Multibus 1/2" Tape controller
The bottom two part numbers are the parts that make up the whole kit
(the top line), if I remember correctly.

There are scsi to pertec interfaces, but were
rare, and therefore
probably if you
found one, would also come with someone wanting to sell the tape
drive it is attached to.
There are PDP-11 pertec controllers. Same with Sun3 multibus -
VME. I had a fujitsu 2444 which came from a sun 3/280, and it had
a multibus in the sun VME adapter frame.
PCI/ISA includes Overland Data if you can find the controller. I
had trouble
running the 2444 on the Overland TXI, so be warned on that.
So it sounds like the best bet is to try and find a controller for
the Sun 3/110 that I have. (Particularly since this is a drive that
was sold for Sun systems.) Does anyone have a part/model number for
the Sun 3 VME controller?
