Summary: $2.5k from Programmer's Shop. Any good?? Message-ID: <82208@unix.cis.pitt.edu> Date: 22 Jan 91 22:39:58 GMT Reply-To: cgwst@unix.cis.pitt.edu (Gray Watson) Organization: University of Pittsburgh Lines: 14 Okay, why should I *not* buy a Jetstream 9-track tape drive from the Programmer's Shop for $2.5k? I know it is a cheap drive and I may get what I pay for but it has a 1year warranty, seems like some nice options, and I need one yesterday. Any bad experiences with it? Any better deals?? I am hooking it up to my Sun Sparc 1+ or my 386 (whatever works). Any experiences with Sparc's?? Any info, warning, or better deals is appreciated. Thanks gray gray%antr.uucp@med.pitt.edu
