Is it possible to use a tape drive to store continuous data at high
rates (128KB/s)?  I was thinking of purchasing a high capacity DAT tape
drive (>1G) and using it to archive data over a SCSI-2 bus.  Is this
feasible?  How fast can data be transferred over the ISA or EISA bus?
Does anyone know if data is transferred by bytes, words, or long words?

Thanks,

Ken
