Pertec interface

OK, so I found the Pertec stuff on bitsavers, but I haven't read through their docs yet. I purchased a Fujitsu 2444 tape drive that has a Pertec interface. ($0.99 on ebay with local pickup!) Apparently all the newer tape drives have Pertec + SCSI or just SCSI. Is Pertec similar enough to SCSI that I could rig up a dongle? If not, how hard is it to find a Pertec interface for: - VAXserver 4000 - PDP-11 Q-bus - Sun 3 w/expansion chassis - PCI/ISA So that I could get the drive into a usable state? I found a place that had Pertec interfaces for ISA based systems, but it would not work with Windows 2000 or later OS, the cards were out of stock and were pretty pricey (like $500+). So what would y'all recommend as the easiest/cheapest way to get this baby up and running? Also -- the power cord has a non-standard 3-prong plug. I'll try to get photos of this up somewhere for reference, but perhaps someone knows the kind of cord this thing needs so I can know what to look for?
