<p>New page &quot;Pertec tape interface&quot;</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>The '''Pertec tape interface''' although never officially declared as such, was a de-facto industry standard for connecting tape drives from the 1960th onwards.<br /> <br /> The [[serial]] Pertec interface consists of two 50-wire [[flat cable]]s, with the majority of the pin-to-signal assignments being firmly defined.<br /> All odd-numbered pins are grounded, except for pins 1 and 3 on the second cable. <br /> <br /> For technical details, see [https://www.sydex.com/pertec.html here].<br /> <br /> Beginning in the 1980s, the Pertec tape interface was successively replaced by the universal [[Small Computer System Interface|SCSI]] interface, which is independent of the device type.<br /> <br /> == Manufacturers of tape controllers and tape drives with Pertec interface ==<br /> <br /> * [[Cipher Data Products|Cipher]]<br /> * [[Control Data Corporation|CDC]]<br /> * [[Digital Equipment Corporation|DEC]]<br /> * [[Digi-Data Corporation|Digi-Data]]<br /> * [[Distributed Logic Corporation|Dilog]]<br /> * [[Emulex Corporation|Emulex]]<br /> * [[Fujitsu Limited|Fujitsu]]<br /> * [[Kennedy Magnetics &amp; Electronics Inc.|Kennedy]]<br /> * [[Midwestern Instruments, Inc.|Midwestern]]<br /> * [[Pertec Peripherals Corporation|Pertec]]<br /> * [[Qualstar Corporation|Qualstar]]<br /> <br /> {{semi-stub}}<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> <br /> * [https://www.sydex.com/pertec.html Detailed information about the Pertec tape interface]<br /> <br /> [[Category: Interface Standards]]</div>
