There are various VCR recorders which have Pertec compatible interfaces (ie. 9-track tape drive interface), but they are not sold as a complete package -- you have to go out an find a tape driver interface which is compatible with the Apollo. We use a Ciprico interface for our Kennedy 9400 magtape, and it seems to work just fine. Danford sells a 9-track tape drive interface for the AT-bus machines. Digi-Data Corp. makes one of these VCR type recorders (they call it a "Gigastore" or something like that). I think Honeywell makes another. -- David Krowitz krowitz@richter.mit.edu (18.83.0.109) krowitz%richter@eddie.mit.edu krowitz%richter@athena.mit.edu krowitz%richter.mit.edu@mitvma.bitnet (in order of decreasing preference)
