  I believe Maynard Electronics in Fla. makes a carry-around 1/4"
  cartridge tape drive. It uses a proprietary interface, so you
  have to give up a slot to their card, and buy cards for each of
  your [p,x,a]T's in order to use it.  But the connector is made
  to be repetitively plugged/unplugged and the unit itself looks
  to be relatively easy to lug around (unless, of course, the lady
  in their magazine ad is really 6'6").

  I have no experience with the product, but I've been giving it
  some serious thought - buying tape drives for every PC in the
  company is really kind of a dumb idea.

  If anyone has any experience with this product, I'd sure like to 
  see it on the net.
