Does anyone know of a fibre/Escon adapter? We are looking for different ways to test our Escon drives with a PC. Any Ideas?

Hi Andy,
PC based Escon solutions are expensive...
STK Escon tape drives will run an Escon loopback test if you power up the drive with an Escon wrap tool installed in the port. It's just a pass / fail test, but I have not seen a drive pass this test and still have an interface failure.
Give me a call if you need a wrap tool.
