   Does anyone know if it is possible to connect a 1/4" tape drive
(150Mb QIC-150 DC-6150 tapes) to an ISA 486 system?  These are the
larger tapes, not the small DC-2xxx tapes.  Specifically, 
I would like to be able to read tar tapes from a Sun SPARCstation
on a PC.

   Any help in locating vendors which sell the tapes, controllers and/or
software necessary would be most appreciated.

   Please respond by e-mail so I don't miss your response in this high-volume
newsgroup.

Thanks,

Bill Wood
