This is probably not easy to do, but:

We have some IBM SCSI tape streamer drives (part number: 6080415)
lying around (can you say "Obsolete"? :-).
I would like to use them with a Mac+/SE/MacII or a MacII under A/UX.

Did anyone of you ever try to do something similar?
Maybe even have a driver for this purpose?

If this works, doing backups will be much easier (no messing around with
floppies), and we don't have to buy an Apple or third party drive ...

I would appreciate any comments.
