A week and a half ago, I posted a query about the QIC-2 interface, but
did not get a reply, so I'm trying a repost.  If there has recently
been a rash of articles about QIC-2, apologies; I missed it.

What I want to know is whether the "QIC-2" standard describes a
complete interface that will work with any tape drive that is "QIC-2
compatible", regardless of type of machine you are running or type of
tape drive.

I have a Q-bus computer with an interface board leading to my
"QIC-2-compatible" tape drive.  But the drive is a lemon and I want to
replace it.  Can I replace it with *any* QIC-2 drive?

Thanks for your help.
