I am in the process of building a 386 based Unix machine, running
386/ix 2.02. I am trying to figure out what tape backup arrangements
would suit my needs. I am a bit spoiled in that I have become very fond
of our 8mm Exabyte on our Sun network. But the best price I could get for
an Exabyte, controller and software is $4,400. This is a little steep for
a personal system at home. I am now considering the Archive Viper 2150s.
I can get a bare drive for $475. I understand that Adaptec 1542 controller
will work with the drive and device drivers are available. Does this sound
like a workable solution? And where can I get the controller and software?
