The Sankyo that Tim mentioned is either 150 or 250 Mb depending upon whether
you use DC6150 or DC6250 tape cartridges.  No additional drivers should be
needed (at least not with an Adaptec).  You can quite often find second hand
SCSI tape drives of the size you are looking for that have been taken from
Sun workstations.
