I just got off the phone with Vance Chin of Berkley Micro Systems.
Unfortunately I was not able to confirm the information
given by Alex Leavens.
  When I spoke to Vance (2:30 centeral, 2/13/90), he said that
the controler (BMS200) was $150 if I wanted a case with it; a shoe box
case (6x6x~12 (not the same as Alex's case)) with the bord was
$250. 
  Then I asked about software:  He assumed I wanted it for a hard
drive, so he said that software for the tape backup would be extra
(I don't remeber if any price was given).  

  The only thing he said that was positive (in my view) was that 
the BMS200 is the only controler that can handle 1:1 interleave 
on the larger drives.

  I hope this does not detract from Alex.  I thank him for his personal
reply to questions about his equipment.  There is a $100 discrepency
here and I would like to know where this is comming from.  Possibly
just a salesman who wanted to get some extra commission or Alex received
a break for repeat business.

  I don't work for anyone listed, I have no gripes with anyone,
I just hope I saved a phone call for someone...
