[ne.forsale] Maynstream 60M External Tape Backup for sale

chan@chansw.UUCP (Jerry H. Chan) (07/11/89)

One practically new Maynard 60M external tape unit (cassette) w/ctlr.  Has not
seen more than 15 power-on hours total.  Was sparcely used as an in-house
unit for a little over 1 month.  I purchased the unit to qualify Maynard
tape units w/my products (for both Interactive and MSDOS), but alas, I was
misinformed by my salesperson -- it only has drivers for XENIX, not Unix /
Interactive.  Maynard was recently rated #1 for customer satisfaction by a
wide margin (PC-Week, I believe).

Extra controllers can be bought for much less than $200, so if you have
several systems that you've been backing up via floppies, here's your chance
to get home a bit earlier for a relatively little bit of $$$.  Just move the
backup around (comes w/handle) from system to system, plug it in and let'er
rip.

Some specs:

* Read Error Rate:  1 in 10^13 bits, Write Rate: 1 in 10^15
* MTBF: 30000 Hours
* 86kb/sec xfer rate
* QIC-02 interface
* Comes w/DOS software, XENIX drivers
* Support for a vast array of networks:  3-Com, IBM Token Ring, Novell, 3 Plus,
  Corvus, FOX 10, IBM Lan Manager, Omninet, Orchid, Quadnet, Ungermann-Bass

List price:     $1595
Asking price:   $ 750

If purchased, I will throw in 6 DC600 tapes (4 slightly used, 2 new) for $12
apiece (below reseller cost), the Maynard brand.
