   My two bits on 6250 drives:

   We bought the Apollo-marketed 6250 tape drive (made by CDC) about 6
months ago.  I would say we have benefitted from the speed improvement.
However, we have had intermittent hardware errors, which are partic-
ularly annoying because RBAK and WBAK do not recover gracefully.  We
finally got the tape read-write head replaced last week, and this seems
to have improved matters.
