I'm interested enough in the real answer as to whether the CSC drives will
behave acceptably with 60mb tapes that I'm tempted to buy one and try it.
Does anyone have any *real* information about this specific drive's behavior
to offer?  Or is the experiment, costly at quantity one drive pricing, worth
doing?  My HP9000/350 at home talks SCSI CCS tape, so would be a good test.
