Message-ID: <2892@uwspan.UUCP> Date: 28 Mar 88 07:29:12 GMT Reply-To: plocher@uwspan.UUCP (John Plocher) Organization: U of Wisconsin - Madison Spanish Department Lines: 17 I'm thinking of buying a 60Mb cartrage tape backup system and the dealer I talked to has an Everex QIC [02 or 36] system for the following prices: (rounded to nearest $50) Archive drive 650 Wangtec drive 800 Anyway, the question is "What is the difference between the Archive drive and the Wangtec drive that justifies a $150 price difference?" PS - the dealer is Southern California Computer Systems, Inc -- Comp.Unix.Microport is now unmoderated! Use at your own risk :-)
