I need some advice on SCSI controller + Hard Disk for my A2000.
My requirements are as follows :-
1) FAST (This is probably more down to the drive)
2) Ability to hook a SCSI tape streamer on without the need for further
controller hardware.
3) >99 Mbytes.
How does the GVP 200MB Controller and drive compare to these requirements ?
How does the Advantage compare ?
Any other advice ?
Should I buy just the controller from one of these people and buy something
like a Quantum Drive ?
Any help appretiated.

With the controllers I've had experience with, you want either GVP
Series II, a Commodore 2091 or the Nexus. Get one of the larger Quantum drives
(100, 120, 170 or 210M) and either an Archive 2150S or the Wantek 5150S
tape drive... Speed is comparable betwen these three controllers, and they
each work with either Tabu or MWtape. (The Nexus also comes with a tape driver
that works well with Quarterback and their own tape backup software.)
