Okay, heres the info you've been waiting for. I got the manual for the drive and figured out what was wrong. Everything works correctly now. I just got the drive to backup an internal HD20 installed in a MacSE. If anybody missed my previous postings heres a little summary and more info. I purchased one of the TEAC 150 Meg tape drives directly from a TEAC distributor for $455. It uses a data CASSETTE that is available for $20-$25. You still need a case and power supply, but that can be gotten from a company called Tulin for $139. THe software I am using is Fastback II. The drive should also work with Retrospect and I am sure that there are other packages available. I have also found out that if 20 or more of these drives are purchased the price drops to <$400. if you're not located in Southern California you need to call TEAC of America to get the name of a distributor local to you. The part number is MT-2ST/N50-00, the drive has a 3.5" form factor, if you need a 5.25" front bezel and adaptor you need to order MT-2ST/N60-00. The drive comes with a black front bezel, if you want grey the last number is a 1. TEAC of America (213) 726-0303 Souther California distributor: HD Hannum (818) 846-9378 3.5" black bezel MT-2ST/N50-00 5.25" " " MT-2ST/N60-00 3.5" light grey MT-2ST/N50-01 %.25" " " MT-2ST/N60-01 Tulin Corp (408) 432-9025 TLSC30 $119 30Watt Power supply/Fan/SCSI connectors/cable TLSC65 $169 65Watt Power supply/Fan/SCSI connectors/cable TLSCOP100 $20 Floopy Front ***YOU NEED THIS FOR THE TAPE DRIVE ***** I'm going to Macworld so I won't be reading my mail till next week.

To save the extra $55.00 on top of the existing savings I'll gladly add my name to the list of buyers. Think Tulin might give us a break on the power supplies too?
