[net.micro.pc] request for recommendations for tape system

reintom@rocky2.UUCP (Tom Reingold) (02/21/86)

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.
