I have a Fujitsu M2451A (with Fujitsu M1008A SCSI<=>ESDI controller) 1/2" ANSI cartridge (190MB) tape drive operating fine connected to a Supra SCSI host adapter. I'm also involved with the Harvard Univ. QIC-40 project, to bring 1/4" QIC-40 capability to the Amiga via the SCSI interface(s); this project, when completed, will release to the public domain all the software and provide total media interchange between Amigas, Macs, IBM/PCs, various UNIX boxes, etc. This project is starting slowly; I'm still awaiting specs and the hardware from the project coordinator, but it will be completed this year. My intent is to issue periodic status reports on the project, so stay tuned to this newsgroup. Thad Floryan (thad@cup.portal.com [or] ...!sun!portal!cup.portal.com!thad)
