Archive 5945C tape drive - Emulex or Adaptec interface board?

Now, in the loft I have a pair of Archive 5945C 60MB drives They're QIC-36 interface drives apparently. -- Correct, the basic drive mech is QIC-36 -- Emulex MW0210402's -- Should be MT02 -- in order to stand a chance of reading these tapes, do I need to know what board was originally used (and even which drive!) in order to write them? -- It would certainly help. MT02's are SCSI common command set and can read QIC-11 or QIC-24 formats. If the carts are DC300,450, or 600 and they were written on a 80's - ish unix box, they will probably be readable with a 5945 and MT02. Be ABSOLUTELY sure that the capstan hasn't deteriorated before trying to do anything with a tape you care about, though. Most drives that old have rubber that has turned to goo, or WILL turn to goo once heat is applied though the motor shaft. Docs for both the Archive drive and MT02 are up on bitsavers.
