We are going to buy a DEC5000 200CX with a 4mm (DAT) tape drive, so it can
give us 1.2 GB backup capability.  Can we buy tape drive made by WANGDAT or
ARCHIVE, WANGTEK?  Any experience or suggestions?

Also, to make a total of about 1GB harddisk, should a diskless option with
one 1.0GB harddisk work correctly?   Or we have to go through some kind of
combinition, such as one 332MB and another 665MB harddisk, this
configuration of course cost more money, any advantage of this
configuration?  Can a Fujitsi harddisk does the job too?

Thank you very much for your advice.

Charlie Li
