Hi Netlanders,

Its been decided that we need to put a 6250bpi nine track tape drive on
to our Personal IRIS.  The tape drive will either have to be rack mounted
or be located some distance away (50' to 150' as the cable snakes).  It
would be preferable to have an autoloading tape drive.

Thanks in advance and email replies will be summarized and posted.
