Maynard Electronics, Inc. distributes a series of SCSI tape drives
manufactured by our parent company, Archive that work fine with the
Amiga.  The products include 1/4" cartridge drives in external and
5-1/4" internal configurations with storage capacities of 60, 15/250
and 525 Mbytes.  Also, we distribute the Archive Python 4mm DAT drive.
This drive is also available as an external (4330XT) or internal
(4520NT) device and stores 1.3 Gigabytes on a 60M tape or 2.0 Gigs on
a 90M tape.

I have used all of these drives on my A500 with a C-Ltd adapter and
my 2000 with the 2091A with total success.  Also, I have tested the
2150ES (external 150/250 M) and the Python 4330XT on the 2500 with 
Nexxus' controller and Flashback software and the A3000 with the 
built in SCSI and BRU from Fred Fish/EST/CBM.

You should be able to get any of these drives through your dealer.  If
your dealer doesn't carry Archive drives, and is interested in helping
you, they can get them through most national distribution channels
(i.e. Tech Data, Arrow, Avnet Computer, and others).  The models are 
as follows:

    1/4" Cartridge SCSI Drives
	Archive Viper 2060S	Internal 5-1/4" 60 Mbytes
	Archive Viper 2060ES	External 60 Mbytes
	Archive Viper 2150S	Internal 5-1/4" 150/250 Mbytes
	Archive Viper 2150ES	External 150/250 Mbytes
