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 Disclaimer: The information presented here is my opinion concerning the use of the Archive brand SCSI tape drives with the Amiga family of computers and in no way represents the opinions or attitudes of Maynard Electronics, Inc. or Archive Corporation.

>> Tim Jones relays various info about Archive Tape Drives and Amiga >> compatability... Thanks for the tape drive info, Tim Jones! It's about time someone came along with some solid information on this sadly vacuous area of Amiga computing!
