Has anyone tried this product or know anything $ about the company? Byte Magazine gave it a God-awful review. They tested if thoroughly and found it to be much slower than regular tape drives and very unreliable. They said that it also is not as dense as it could have been. They said that there was no use for which they would recommend it. Name: Tom Reingold Disclaimer: Nothing I say is an opinion. INTERNET: tr@bellcore.bellcore.com UUCP: !bellcore!tr
