I am running SCO System 5 (hah) XENIX on a real (you thought they didn't
exist, right) IBM PC/AT.  This is one of the ones that supposedly checks to
see if you have swapped your crystal for an 8MHz job.

We need tape backup and we are considering the Emerald Systems 60 meg
streaming cartridge drive.  I think the model number is DOS 60-2002.
We will need the external model, since our AT will be full of disk drives.
Has anyone ever used this drive for XENIX?  Is Emerald Systems reputable?

Are there any other drives that could be considered a better choice?
