As I understand it, ESIX Rev. C comes with drivers for the Wangtek and Everex 60Meg tape controller. However, for one installation I need to get a tape drive of higher capacity. Is anyone using a 120/150 tape system with ESIX which can read the 60Meg tapes? Is it preferable to get a QIC-type controller, or to use the SCSI tape driver supplied with ESIX? Thanks for any help. -- First they built the world's | Evan Leibovitch, System Telly standard...then they added | Located in beautiful Brampton, Ontario standards no-one else had--SCO ad | evan@telly.on.ca or uunet!attcan!telly!evan

It is capable of reading 60/120/150 meg tapes. If you really want high density why not look at SCSI 8mm. Thats the way nebulus is going. I would recomend, if you have the available IRQ,DMA and slot to go to the Wangtek (TENSE) solution. It's proven technology and reasonably priced! -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dennis S.
