I would appreciate reports of experience using one of the new 80-mb
(QIC-80) tape drives under Xenix. These tape drives, which are made
by Mountain and Irwin, among others, put 80-mb onto a DC-2000 1/4-inch
mini data cartridge, working off a high-intensity diskette controller.
I do not know whether Xenix drivers for these units are available from
SCO or from the manufacturers.
Has anyone used one of these drives? Any comparisons of reliability
and speed with the QIC-02 60-mb or 150-mb tape drives made by Archive,
Mountain, and others? I plan to mount the tape drive internally in an
IBM ps2/80.
Thanks in advance for any comments and reports.

To the best of my knowledge (we distribute for Mountain) there is no support for those little beasties. I may be wrong about Irwin (don't deal with them). Our preference here is to build with the 150Mb tape units. (I'm really waiting for support on 2.2Gb. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -William A.
