Data's model 9914 is a full function 9-Track Open reel
tape drive supporting all four of the IBM/ANSI/ECMA
sanctioned recording formats, 800 (NRZ), 1600 (PE), 3200
(DPE), and 6250 (GCR) bit per inch.
The unit can provide a sustained data rate of 781
Kilobytes per second by virtue of it's nominal 125 inch
per second tape speed. Tapes are easily and
automatically loaded by simply inserting the media and
closing the front door. Ease of use is further enhanced
by an alphanumeric display which provides the user with
operational and status information in plain English (or
French or Spanish or German or Dutch, you choose).
Unit features either the industry "Standard"
formatted interface, an optional 1 Mbyte buffer, or
single-ended/differential SCSI-2. The 9914 is available
for rack-mounting or with stand-alone desktop enclosure.
This workhorse of a tape drive features emulations to
attach to all popular host platforms and is easily
reconfigurable to adapt to your requirements.
