I'm lookup for a tape backup unit for a 386 PC with a 130 Mb ESDI disk.
The problem is that all of the expansion slots are filled.  I've seen
some tape drives advertised that can be installed in place of a second
floppy disk drive.  I'd like to hear from people that have experience
using these types of drives.  Are there any tape drives that can be used
for both a PC and Mac II?  I think there are some that might require
external cards which is not a problem on the Mac but it is on the PC.
Is ESDI like SCSI, are there ESDI tape drives?
