Note that the PAS16 controller isn't particularly good. Not that that
really matters for a tape drive, but you might be just as well off
buying a cheap SCSI controller for almost the same money you'd be
spending for a bridge connector. You can get NCR 53c810 controllers
for $50; and they are much, much better SCSI controllers.
