Seagate, which bought Conner/Archive makes several different models, as do several other companies. Specifically, the new TR4 drive, with 4 gigs uncompressed storage, available in either IDE or SCSI versions looks interesting. And they aren't all that expensive, either. (Although, I haven't seen prices for the tapes yet.) I've got a slightly older Conner QIC-3080 drive, the SCSI version. Storage capacity is 2.0 gigs uncompressed per tape, and the tapes are about $45 Canadian$, or at least that's what Sony tapes cost at the last place I got them. Backup speed is quite fast. The drive tops out at 54-60 Megs/minute. Later...... <Doug>
