I've got an Emerald Systems RAP-150 tape drive for sale.  This item
consists of:

o	Tandberg 3660 QIC-150 tape drive mechanism, in Emerald's
	shoebox with power supply
o	3' SCSI cable, DB-50s at both ends; power cord
o	half-length 8-bit PC SCSI host adapter card
o	backup software for Windows 2.1
o	two different sets of manuals, for some obscure reason
o	two DC-6150 cartridges to feed it with...

It's in good working condition, as far as I can tell.  I've never
bothered to test the whole pile on a DOS machine.  The drive's been
used on a Macintosh with Fastback+ 2.0; it works fine there.  As I
understand it, this tape drive should work fine with any Macintosh and
most of the big-name backup programs.  I got it for my 386 system
running Xenix, but unfortunately Xenix's SCSI driver does not get
along well with this drive :( The PC software can be upgraded to
Windows 3.x software for about $75; Emerald still supports this drive.
There are also some attractive upgrades to higher capacity drives.

In nearly-new condition; quite clean.  Asking $375, prepaid.  I pay
UPS ground; you pay anything more expensive than that.  I'll also
consider trades for >150M SCSI disks, other SCSI cartridge tape
drives, Telebit PEP modems, or other high-speed modems.

Call me at (607) 273 1202, or reply by e-mail.
