Hello

We are looking into buying either 8mm or DAT (4mm) tape backup
units for our PC cluster and need information about which 8 and 
4 mm tape drives are available these days.

If someone can tell me about any magazine articles and reviews
about tape drives, recording formats etc, it will be much
appreciated. 

Every month Computer Shopper magazine runs a very thorough review
of a particular hardware product including a comparison of all the
available models. I would like to know if they have covered tape
backup units/drives in a previous issue.

Thankyou

Regards
-Farrukh

P.S. I prefer direct email response over net posting.
     I will post a summary if there is sufficient interest in this group.
