Danford Corp. also sells the Exabyte 8mm tape drive in a package for
the Apollo DN3000/4000 series. 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.
