  I would suggest that you go with a 60MB drive with its own controller.
The best bet is Wnagtek, not because its the best, but because its the
best supported. Several UNIX variants have limited support for other
drives, but all (that I've seen) have Wangtek support.

  Second choice is Archive.

  These are QIC-24 tapes, and will interchange with workstations like
DEC, Sun, and Apollo (at least). They run on DOS and ISC and SCO. I
don't have an ESIX manual set here, I *think* they're supported.
