I'm looking for advice before purchasing a tape-backup unit
for my IBM-PC. Reliability and speed are my primary concerns
(cost isn't). I'm not sure if my power supply will support
an internal tape drive so I may have to restrict myself to
an external drive with it's own power supply. So far I'm
favoring the Tallgrass TG-1040e or 1020e but they aren't
the fastest by any means ( r/w speed = 75 in./sec. , data
transfer rate = 750kb/sec.). Please email me your comments
and recommendations if you have any. I'd be interested in
the options, features, drawbacks, integrity, price, etc if
you can supply them. I'd also be interested in hearing about
any magazine reviews (I've seen the one in BYTE, Oct. 1986).
Thanks
