The guy who bought UNIX from DELL and found out that I had to have a tape drive to get it. I need some advice on which drive to get. The tape that I have is a 1/4" cartridge that is a DC6150 tape. It is formatted at 150 megs. I need to know of the cheapest tape drive that I can get to read it. Yes I have a Computer Shopper but I don't know which one to get. Dell wants $799 for theirs, but I know that I can do better than that. Any advice or specific ads will be greatly appreciated. If you have one and live near Purdue, I would love to borrow one. Thanx in advance. Madison Miles seth@gn.ecn.purdue.edu
