Well, I have seen at least ONE 3.5 tape drive. It was a CORE tape drive, and
was included free if you bought one of their larger HD's for the PS/2. I
am also pretty sure that I have seen at least 2 DAT tape drives that were
in the 3.5 form factor and used a SCSI interface. Of course, at about $1500
apiece, they weren't as cheap as QIC-type drives.
