[comp.periphs] Kennedy 60MB Tape Backup Unit

ak7g@maxwell.acc.Virginia.EDU (Ashish Kapur) (02/26/91)

This is from an ad in computer shopper.

Kennedy 60MB internal tape backup, complete with controller, software,
and cable. (uses DC600 Tape catridge )
Price:	$149.

Is this a great deal or a scam?
Does anyone have any experience wi this tape backup unit.
Has anyone ever dealt with this mail order company? ( Weirdstuff
Warehouse )

The ad also says  that they do not provide technical support.
Can I hook the unit to my existing controller (ST02 SCSI/RLL) if I
currently have only one floppy disk drive installed?

Will I be able to use other backup programs with the unit?

And lastly (excuse the ignorance), can tape units be accessed like
floppy drives or are they exclusively for backups?

BTW I have a 386-25 clone. A Seagate ST157N-1 HD and a 1.44 3.5" floppy
drive hooked on to a ST02 SCSI/RLL controller.

Please email.
Thanks in advance.
