I've got a tape streamer in a jjiffy bag, floating around in a plastic sack
of old spares, out in the garage if you want it :-)
...and the ISA interface card and two or three TR3 tapes to go with it !!

....whilst looking for a picture of it, I found :-
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SEAGATE-CTT3200I-F-CTT3200R-F-TAPE-DRIVE-fbc1a8-/350250404498
...same as mine :-)

...I wonder if the vendor will ever sell it ?

I do remember that the chap that bought it paid around �400 if memory serves
!

regards, Richard

ps re: CP/M  ....LocoSript (word processing application), was quite popular 
in its' time, and many years ago, a brief acquiantance and his wife, (many 
years ago), used to make quite a nice living, traveling around the UK doing 
training courses in it !
