Anybody know what the interface on the Cifer tape
drive is?
The drive came with two huge, rubber-sleeved 50-way ribbon
cables. I think both cables are required for the
interface, so it doesn't look like SCSI...
All the Cifers I've seen are Pertec interface, which consists of two 50-way
cables. I have the pin assignment list somewhere, if that's any help.

New subject: Printronix P300 lineprinter available, Bristol, UK
As the next part of my ongoing project to clear out the
house and garage, I'd like to offer this fine old printer
to anyone on the list who'd like it:
Printronix P300 dot-matrix line printer, originally
installed at Westfield College, London in about 1980. It
has a serial interface and runs on 240V power. The cover
is soundproofed, but don't expect this thing to be quiet!
It prints at 300 lines per minute. Needs a good clean-out
of the printhead.
Located in north Bristol, UK, near the M4/M5/M32 junctions.
