My lab at SRI will need to purchase some rack-mountable 9-track tape drives
in the next few months.  We now own Kennedy 9610s and are not overly
happy with these as they often have trouble loading tapes.
I would appreciate hearing recommendations from people for tape drives
(and controllers) whose combined price is say 10 - 12 K or less.
It isn't a lot to work with, but I didn't write the budget (sigh!).
