 I called Bell Tech. several days ago to enquire about their tape
 units and they just got back to me with prices:

 The 60mb unit is a Wangtek drive, 1 yr. warranty, 30 day moneyback
 guarantee. The price is $1695 or $1187 if you pre-pay (quite a difference).
 They claim compatibility with several other systems including Suns.

 Included are drivers for Microport and MSDOS, cabling etc. The
 prices above are for internal units.

 So it seems for about $500  more than a similar unit from a mail
 order house you can get a unit with a driver for microport.
