Sounds very nice.  Two questions before I'm hooked:

1) I'm interested in playing with the TeX distribution which
   comes on 1/2" 9-track OR 2 1/4" cartridges recorded using QIC-2. 
   Will the Archive units with the UNIX driver read BOTH QIC-2 and
   QIC-24?  (Another way to solve this problem:  Is anyone willing
   to put the TeX stuff on a QIC-24 tape for me?)

2) And speaking of drivers, I have Microport Sys V/AT R2.4 AND AT&T
   Unix/386 Release 3.2.  I would need drivers for both systems.
   Are such drivers available?
