I have beeen looking into this. There are some people in Australia
selling this via the net, and I have seen a simular thing in Harvey
Normans. From Harvey Normans you can buy the first tape (with
software) for $90  and get extra tapes for $60 (these prices are from
memory). I have seen the tapes advertised on the net  (from Australian
companies) for $80 with software but haven't seen them advertised
without software. I can send you the addresses of the ones I have seen
on the net but I havn't dealt with any of them myself and would be
interested in finding out how it goes as I have the same type of drive
and was thinking about trying out these new tapes. See ya
