I am looking for a QIC 24 type tape drive to run with the above machine so that I can produce as well as read 60Mb cartridges. The Sparcstation 1+ tape option that we have uses a 150Mb tape drive that will only write 150Mb tapes. Sun tells me that they don't have a readily available supported solution. There is apparently an old type of drive but I guess they feel that they don't want to guarantee support on future releases of SunOS. Currently the system is equipped with two external SCSI boxes (one with 150Mb tape and 300Mb disk, the other with 300Mb disk only); there are no internal drives. O/S is SunOS 4.1 It was suggested by Sun that I try 3rd party resellers of Sun compatible peripherals. Elsewhere I was given the names of CMS and Solflower as companies that are in this market, but I don't have details of them. Can anyone help or provide suggestions? Andy Hall andyh@ncd.com
