any idea as to what the interface is? ?is this scsi or
hpib?
I think it could be either. The 7980A was HP-IB, the 7980S was SCSI.
Here's an HP Journal article on the drive:

A few years back I picked up an HP-IB 7980A from Ft. Lewis
(govliquidation) in the same cabinet as the one in the current
auction. I gave that drive away since it had problems and wouldn't
load a tape correctly. Still have that cabinet though.
