Has anyone seen the Summus, or any other, carousel type cartridge tape system working. I saw an ad a while back, but I haven't seen anything lately. Does anyone know what the address of the company is?

Or put another way, a carousel system which can hold 54 cartridges (at 2.3 Gigabytes each) and two Gigatape 8mm drives. The system is available on a wide variety of platforms, including DEC (Ultrix and VMS), Sun, Apple Macintosh, Compaq & IBM PC/AT compatibles, and most UNIX based systems which have either a SCSI-bus or a VME-backplane. The units shipped so far have been primarily Sun units. >... Does anyone know what the address of the company is? Summus Computer Systems P.O.
