Tape drives (which one to look for?)

You might consider the Seagate STT8000 series in a scsi form. It stores
4gb natively on a Travan cartridge. They go for about $160.00, tapes are
preformatted (servo type) and go for $20.00 or so.

I've had hands on many of the ide models and own an external scsi version
myself.

Regards,

Jeff
