We need to purchase a 9 track 1600/6250bpi tape drive for use on a
Sun-4/330.  I'd appreciate hearing from anyone willing to share their tape
drive stories (especially about SCSI drives or drives on 4/330s).  What's
available?  Are there tape drives you'd recommend staying away from?  Are
there advantages of one over another?  Our use will not be too demanding -
we just want a reliable drive to read tapes provided to us from a variety
of foreign systems.

Please reply directly to me.
