It
s doable if you have the SCSI tk50 or a TLZ30. Beware there are almost
scsi tk50s that pair up only with vs2000s (old scsi spec and the protocal
is off some).

<know how you would go about it.
I'm short on detail but it would be like any DLT in use if you have the
scsi version(difference is in the eprom on the SCSI adaptor).

On the topic of vintage SCSI: where NCR 5386 datasheet can be found?
Preferably in .PDF? (Tektronix 4336 uses this chip.)

If you have a Linux kernel source tree handy, there's a driver for the NCR 5380
card, I'm not sure if it's related or not:
/usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/NCR5380.c
/usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/NCR5380.h
If you don't have Linux but would like a look at the file, email and I'll send
it to you.

I already searched the net and found datasheets in .PDF for 5380 clones;
_but_ 5386 != 5380 :( The only info I have found on 5386 is its pinout and
register map.

Could you please post (or e-mail me) the pinout of the
5386 as either an
ascii-art diagram of the chip or as a list of pins with their functions
(the latter is probably easier for you unless you already have the diagram).
I hope 5385 and 5386 are compatible enough -- their register maps look the
same (and that's what interests me -- it looks like I will be writing a
driver for this chip.)
