I have been following the recent postings on 150 M SCSI tape
drives. Looking through PC Week and Computer Shopper I find
the Wangtek 5150ES for about $800 and the Archive 2150S for
about $500 (both bare drive). Is there some difference in 
features that would account for this price difference 
(ability to write 60 M tapes)?

I am running ESIX/V.3.2 Rev C with an Adaptec 1542. The Wangtek 5150ES
is listed as working in this configuration. Has anyone used the
Archive 2150S with this type of configuration ?
