I want to buy a tape drive where I work. I will list my re-
quirements below. Does anyone here have any recommenda-
tions? According to the article in the February 11 issue of
PC Magazine, there is only one that meets my requirements.
Does anyone know of others?
My Requirements:
o The tape system would be used on two IBM XT's.
We may get more XT's or maybe some AT's in the fu-
ture.
o price ~$1000
o to be used for archives
o capacity around 60 MB (expansion is in mind)
o ability to plug into the 37-pin connector in the
back of the PC.
o ability to plug into AT with an optional and
later purchased expansion card.
o I want to use it with commands, as opposed (or
in addition) to menus. I need this so I can con-
trol it from batch files. Cryptic commands are
not a problem for me, as I am experienced with
Unix.
Thanks.
