I am looking for information on a good SCSI tape stream.
Can anyone suggest one and could anyone give me good or bad
opinions on the following tape drives.
Archive 2060F 150MB 90KB/sec
Siemens ? 150MB 5.4MB/min

Any information on these drive as well as any suggestions of a
good tape drive and company to talk to would help.
Thanks

Maynard Electronics, Inc. distributes a series of SCSI tape drives
manufactured by our parent company, Archive that work fine with the
Amiga. The products include 1/4" cartridge drives in external and
5-1/4" internal configurations with storage capacities of 60, 15/250
and 525 Mbytes. Also, we distribute the Archive Python 4mm DAT drive.
This drive is also available as an external (4330XT) or internal
(4520NT) device and stores 1.3 Gigabytes on a 60M tape or 2.0 Gigs on
a 90M tape.
I have used all of these drives on my A500 with a C-Ltd adapter and
my 2000 with the 2091A with total success. Also, I have tested the
2150ES (external 150/250 M) and the Python 4330XT on the 2500 with
Nexxus' controller and Flashback software and the A3000 with the
built in SCSI and BRU from Fred Fish/EST/CBM.
You should be able to get any of these drives through your dealer. If
your dealer doesn't carry Archive drives, and is interested in helping
you, they can get them through most national distribution channels
(i.e. Tech Data, Arrow, Avnet Computer, and others). The models are
as follows:
1/4" Cartridge SCSI Drives
Archive Viper 2060S Internal 5-1/4" 60 Mbytes
Archive Viper 2060ES External 60 Mbytes
Archive Viper 2150S Internal 5-1/4" 150/250 Mbytes
Archive Viper 2150ES External 150/250 Mbytes
Archive Viper 2525S Internal 5-1/4" 525 Mbytes
4mm DAT SCSI Drives
Archive Viper 2525ES External 525 Mbytes
Archive Python 4330XT External 4mm DAT
Archive Python 4520NT Internal 5-1/4" 4mm DAT
