Okay,
  what's the deal then. Are we going to manage a group tape drive buy ?
Is everybody waiting for someone else to organize it ?

  I have a couple of questions for those in the know.
	1. The 115MB capacity I presume is 120MB, meeting QIC-120
	2. Can it write 60MB tapes, meeting QIC-24 ? (This would be unusual).
	3. Is it an Archive tape drive ?
	4. What is the model number. I have a manual for an Archive 2060S,
	    and 2150S. Both of these are great drives, good reputation.
	5. Is it 5.25", HALF HEIGHT ???

  If all the answers seem ok I might volunteer to organize a purchase. Can
whoever did the hard disks tell me how they managed that feat ?
