Hello.

I am running Microport SysV/386 v3.0e on an ALR 386/2, 16MHz machine.

I'm sure this question has come around a couple of times, so mail responses
are sufficient and I'll post a summary.  (I'd even bet that someone has an
old summary they could send.)

Request:
	I need to get a tape drive for my machine.  Mostly for backups, but
	also for archiving.
	Suggestions?

Requirements:
	- 4+ Megs/minute transfer rate.
	- Tapes of no less than 40Meg.
	- External device.
	- List price <= $2000.

Thanks tons for any leads/help.
