Hey, that
looks like a Fujitsu M2444AC magtape drive on that system. If you don't want that,
would you be willing to slide it in my direction?
Not just one, but two!
M2444 is pretty sweet. Oftentimes there is a proprietary interface but behind it (Well,
beside it in the card cage) is chained the two-50-pin-Pertec-formatted interface.
And of course a common option at least when these were used on Suns was
SCSI-to-Pertec-Formatted bridge.

Oh interesting...I've used a bunch of those on Suns back in the day, but only
connected to Xylogics 472 tape controllers.
I'd dearly love to find some of those SCSI to Pertec bridges.
