A good combination for PC/XT/AT is an ARCHIVE SC499R Controller and any QIC-36 compatible 1/4" cartridge tape drive (such as Archive 4945L - 9 heads fits 60 Mbytes on DC600A cartridge) and this setup is not much more expensive than IRWIN. misha -- NAME: Michael Umansky (sun!aeras!foxy!misha) WORK: Arix Corp.; 821 Fox Lane; San Jose, CA 95131 HOME: 4331 Lincoln Way; San Francisco, CA 94122 PHONE: (408) 922-1751 (work); (415) 564-3921 (home)
