Does anyone have any information, good or bad, about a "Jumbo" mag tape drive by Colorado Memory Systems Inc. This is a streaming tape drive, 40-120MB. I've seen it advertised for around $280 from several mail order houses. Is it junk? -wes schreiner nuschrei@plains.nodak.edu

I've been using the Jumbo tape drive for a few months. I'm using it to back up a Novell Network drive and it works really well (as long as you don't try to install it in the server) The software included is excellent as well. It can fit 40mb on regular tapes or 60mb with the new XL tapes. Using data compression (which works well albeit more slowly) you can fit roughly 80mb on regular tapes or 120mb on the XL tapes. -Rudi Halbright rh1m@andrew.cmu.edu
