The TK50 was not so great; the TK70 was much more reliable. I don't have
any experience with the TZ30 (although I do have one somewhere). The Tx85,
Tx86, Tx87, Tx88, and Tx89 all seem to be exceptionally reliable (along with
the equivalent DLTx000 drives). I used to use DAT at home. Now I use a
DLT4700 system.
