I can get a 9 track tapeunit which is connected to a

what kind of interface is used here?
These would normally go to a Xylogics 472 tape controller. For a Sun4, that
controller would be mounted in a Multibus<->VMEbus adapter frame.
The Ciprico Tapemaster controller has also been used in a similar
configuration, but they're much less common in the newer Sun4 systems.
