I have a machine called a CMAD.. its by an australian firm. On it there is a
tape drive unit. I would dearly like to find a standard interface for this to
use on my amiga, ibm and{mini.. The unit is called a CIPHER MICROSTREAMER aND
is an american prduct. the model number is F880640-90-1025U (sheesh) and it has
Option E (whatever it means). The connectors are 4 50 pin idc headers. on the
machine when i received it only two were attached to cables, and i beleive that
the first two headers and the second two headers are identical. I am told by a
fellow who i do not deem knowledgeable that this unit is compatible with the
interface on IBM mainframes.. But that may not be the case. Any way, i would
like any information on the curret interface, where i may obtain an interface,
or how i might go about making one etc.. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Allmost any controler you get will talk to it. They are a good little unit, if you don't mind 1600 bpi. Mail to ZCOOKBRUC@CC.CURTIN.EDU.AU for help, he has my manuals... :-) There should be 69k people arround Monash who can help you out on this one. ~Paul
