As long as this thread is red hot, how about these questions:

I have an M4 Data 9914 tape drive with Pertec and SCSI interfaces.
It will do 800, 1600, 6250.  I want to set up and run 2.11BSD on a
Q-Bus system.

1) I'd rather not spend a lot to get a SCSI interface.  I now have
   Emulex TC02 and Dilog DQ130 Q-Bus controllers.  Is there
   any way these controllers are going to enable 6250 BPI?

2) Is there another Q-Bus, Pertec controller that will do 6250?

3) If I had a Q-Bus SCSI controller, would it enable 6250?

4) (Already asked in thread) Supposing I get the hardware to work
   at 6250, will 2.11BSD handle it?

Thanks,
Dave
