Hello Jay -
I have been a bit under the weather here - thus, the delay in responding.
I am the guy that contemplates seeing if I can get an HP7970 tape
drive up and running with a 68000 box.
You mentioned that you have a 7970B that you "should get rid of."
Might you be interested to sell the beast???
The more that I think about the tape drive, the more fun it appears
to be - and fun is a Good Thing, especially at my advancing age :)
Please let me know what you think.
Regards,
Jack Harper

I do have a handful of 7970E's running and a 7970B I should
probably get rid of.... Chuck Guzis had recently posted the
