I was exploring the idea of doing it without requiring an old PC w/SCSI card.

Hasn't someone somewhere created an iSCSI stack that would let an old PC run Linux and
use an old SCSI card (of appropriate
interface) to talk to old hardware, but speak to the new PC and new software over the
network?
Is the end-goal running 'mt' and 'tar' within Cygwin under Windows?
If the goal requires talking to the Windows machine's filesystem, aren't there
lots of ways to solve that from an old Linux machine?
This topic was covered in July 2014 and December 2012 if you check the archives.
