   As I understand it, ESIX Rev. C comes with drivers for the Wangtek and
   Everex 60Meg tape controller. 

   However, for one installation I need to get a tape drive of higher capacity.
   Is anyone using a 120/150 tape system with ESIX which can read the 60Meg
   tapes? Is it preferable to get a QIC-type controller, or to use the SCSI
   tape driver supplied with ESIX?


I'm  also  looking for drivers for a different tape unit, in my case a
Mountain  4440.  Any hints or clues of where to get such a beast would
be appreciated. Thanks.
