I just got the Conner TapeStor 4000 SCSI drive.  The drive costs alittle
over $500 and it handles 4Gigabytes (compressed).  It is not on my OS/2 
box however, and I don't know if it is supported by any software for 
OS/2.  THe drive does about 50 MByte / minute, which is a hell of alot
faster than my old Irwin accutrak 250 running off the floppy controller.
