I was wondering if anyone had some experience and/or preferences with
SCSI cards for laptops - specifically I want to hook my M4 Data 9914 9trk
drive up to one of my laptop PCs (IBM or Dell) to archive/transport/backup
tape images to-from the 11/44.
Speaking of the 11/44 - I'm in the market for one or a couple of Pertec
foramtter cards to fit the Kenedy 9100.. I have a Pertec Unibus card,
just need the interface cards for the machines themselves. Also cables for
same...
ALSO: still looking for an (H960?) tall DEC rack to buy. Must have
casters, would like to have the anti-tip legs, all other acoutrements
unimportant. (power controller, logos, sides, etc).
I will be at VCF 6 in October, and can pick up these items in that
general area then.

PS: yes, yes, I know - Marketplace!! Okay, already....

I use an Adaptec APA-1480 (32-bit Cardbus) with an HP 88780 9-track
drive. Back when I was using an older laptop that didn't support Cardbus,
I used the APA-1460 (16-bit PCMCIA).
I use them with Linux, but of course they work with Windows as well.
The 1460 works with DOS, but the 1480 does not.

Same here, I grabbed a 1460, which
works fine with both DOS and Win32, and
probably the BSD's and Linux as well, for those who care.

The Adaptec 1460 (if I remember the number correctly, or was it 1640?) will do
just fine.
