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

If they are all the same as that last one, ship me a crate
please. :-) Those are the ones used by the CBM A3070 tape
drive for one. (Caliper CP150) And they sound like 150MB
tapes. Just look for any drive supporting the DC6150 tape
standard. If it's SCSI you've a good chance it'll be just
Plug'n'Play on your amiga...
