I'm looking for a standalone 1/4-inch tape drive with a SCSI
interface.  I'm buying a Data General workstation with a 50-pin SCSI
port, and I'd like to be able to plug the tape drive into it.

Unfortunately standalone 1/4-inch SCSI tape drives seem pretty rare.
(I'd like the tape unit to handle 60 Meg tape cartridges and use
Sun-compatible QIC-24 format, by the way.)  Far more common are
shoebox units containing both a SCSI tape and a SCSI disk.

In fact the only vendor I could find wanted over $2K for a standalone
1/4-inch tape unit.  That seems pretty high, especially considering
that 8mm Exabyte tape drives, handling up to 2200 Meg, can be bought
for as little as $4K!

Can anyone recommend a vendor of less expensive 1/4-inch SCSI tape
drives?  I'd go with the Exabyte, but it's beyond my means..
