Makes you wonder what sort of tapes they're including with the drive.
Are they TK70's, or are they DLT's that can't be used in the drive?

It's also interesting to note that most of the Quantum tape drives
that they show aren't standalone drives, but rather drives that are
intended to go in a Jukebox.
