I picked up a Qualstar 1052 9-track drive at a hamfest
this morning. Has
anyone used one of these?
What interface is it? Two 50-pin edge connectors (Pertec Formatted)?
A SCSI 50-pin connector? Something else?
Do I have any hope of using it to read old RSTS, VMS
and MUMPS-11 tapes?
Sure, with the right controller/host adapter. What sort of system do you
want to put the drive on?

The drive's cable has a 62 pin connector and I got a card with it that I
think may be its controller. The card's labeled "Sippican Inc" who appears
to be some sort of government contractor.
I'm hoping to use this with either a PC, an SGI Indy or an Alpha.
