I am considering purchasing a dec3100 and the TK50 that dec sells, even with  
the academic discount at $2658 seems a bit steep. Sun's tape drive is 
only around $1168 for me. This state of affairs seems a bit odd.

Does anyone know what less expensive options I have?  
I am somewhat new at this sort of thing. Are there inexpensive and 
reliable tape drives  that I can use to load the same distribution tapes?
What is really going on here?

Please post message, call or send mail.

Thanks.
