The computer support group at work are chucking-out a load
of old stuff. Some of this stuff includes hundreds of data
cartidges, and it seems a shame to bin them just because of
an upgrade to DAT. Therefore, if anyone could tell me what
I need to use these tapes and where I could get it, I would
be most grateful. (And before anyone says 'tape streamer',
I know THAT, but a model etc would be helpful ;)

The cartridges use quarter-inch tape, and most are 600 foot
long. There are a couple of different brands, with these
numbers:

Verbatim         DL 600    #86341
Verbatim         DL 600ECT #86357
Dysan            600       #81509
Storage Master   AC 6150   #M411643

Any help would be cool. I'm after something with a SCSI
interface, internal or external, for use with my Amiga.

The streamer I have here on my Sparc 20 takes tapes which
are almost exactly the same, but they aren't quite as
'long' (accross the front where the tape shows).

Regards,
   Dominic
