	Here at Microware we use a fair number of Archive 2150S drives.
They have a 150MB capacity, can read QIC-24, QIC-120 and QIC-150 and
can write QIC-120 and QIC-150.  We pay around $650 when we buy in 1-2
quantity.  We've had fairly good luck with them (no dead drives or 
people cussing out Archive engineers and/or their mothers).  We've bought
around 15 of them so far so on the whole I'd say our experience has
been a 8^) one.

Sorry if I ramble a bit but our software won't post unless there's more
new news than old news.
