I, too, have the OnStream drive, and it's best to think of it as a
"low-cost drive with a proprietary interface". Even though it has a
SCSI connector, it's not a tape drive in the traditional (SCSI) sense.
It'll take special drivers to talk to this puppy.
If you're feeling brave and lucky, OnStream is selling "new"
internal Quantum DLT-2000XT's for $649 (15GB capacity, uncompressed ).
Note that these are "brand new" obsolete drives. You'd better read the
fine print (especially on warranty, shipping, and "defective products"),
but check out:

Search for "DLT-2000XT", near the bottom of the page.
