I'm thinking of buying a 60Mb cartrage tape backup system
and the dealer I talked to has an Everex QIC [02 or 36] system 
for the following prices: (rounded to nearest $50)

    Archive drive	650
    Wangtec drive	800

Anyway, the question is 
    "What is the difference between the Archive drive
     and the Wangtec drive that justifies a $150 price difference?"

PS - the dealer is Southern California Computer Systems, Inc
