Greetings, Net-folk,

I would like a recommendation on a tape drive for use with an 
IBM PC/XT system.  Two of them, actually.  One belongs to an
office here (they have one 20 mb hard disk).  The other is my
own personal machine (one 30 mb and one 53 mb).  Any input that
you can offer (either negative or positive) would be appreciated.

Price is somewhat of a concern here.  I noticed some outfit called
Colorado Memory Systems has tape drives on sale cheap through many
of the mail order firms in Computer Shopper.  Any comments on this
brand?  (Or any other....Archive, Everex, Mountain, etc.)


				Thanks!

				Pat
