A friend has a well preserved IBM 3430 tape drive (off an IBM
System/38) and we speculated whether we could connect this to one of
our AS/400s, which we understand is possible via a suitable SPD card.
Before we try to usually difficult process of negotiating down the
high prices offered by various eBay sellers, does anyone have any
surplus bus/tag cables and terminators (for both) which they can offer
please?
Here are pictures of the IBM 3430 and most of the cables etc:
