I  have a couple of Tecmar tape drives and controllers. One is  a 
Tecmar QT60i (Tape drive is a Wangtek 5125EN) and the other is  a 
Tecmar QT125e. I assume the i and e reflect internal and external 
models but was somewhat thrown by the 5125EN model of the drive.

My  problem  is with the controllers. One is full length  with  a 
Wangtek  Assembly  number but Tecmar ROM, the other  is  a  small 
quarter length card, labelled HOST ADAPTER 938469 REV C.

It has 4 blocks of jumpers

J3 IIII                J1 III

J4 IIIIII              J2 III

I  suspect  J1 and J2 are DMA/DRQ 1-3 and J4 is IRQ.  That  would 
suggest  that  J3 is a 16 bit I/O. At present pins 3  and  4  are 
jumpered, but without a manual...

I  could do with a manual for the Tecmar QT60i and QT125e  drives 
and the controllers. Can anyone help?
