I'd like to install this tape backup on my home Windows 7 pc. Can you recommend a controller that would work with my HP home pc. Thanks

papatim asked the right question. Kind of hard to tell which controller will work without knowing more about your system.
A list of HP suggested controllers: https://h10057.www1.hp.com/ecomcat/hpcatalog/specs/provisioner/05/Q1522A_link.htm

I thought Windows 7 did not support this drive but I was wrong, when I checked compatibility it mentioned additional software: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=316236&prodTypeId=12169&prodSeriesId=63890&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEnvOID=4063
