Hello all,
	I have a small problem.  Recently an external Bell Technologies
XTC-150 tape drive on one of our Xenix systems decided it needed a
vacation.  I opened the unit to find a blown fuse, which when replaced
blows instantly upon power-up.  I called Bell (now Intel, sort of...) and
they told me that the flat fee for repair is $700!!!  I already purchased
a replacement drive (for $800 -- I bought an Archive Viper).  I would
however like to get this drive fixed if the price was reasonable.  I
would appreciate any leads to a third party source who could fix this
unit.  Also, if anyone was interested in purchasing this unit, let me
know how much you'd be willing to spend.  Thanks in advance!  Please
reply via E-mail, or call toll free at the # in my .sig.
