IME Computers was selling Archive 2150S for ~$500 a few months ago.
This was just a bare SCSI tape drive ready for internal mounting.  The
best price I could find on a Wangtek 150MB SCSI QIC streamer was $675
for a bare drive, that was from our local Wile Labs Rep.

A friend of mine bought a 2150S from IME and has had no problems with it
connected to his Adaptec 1542B.
