[comp.periphs.scsi] SCSI DAT drives -- anybody knows one with a good price?

iwelch@agsm.ucla.edu (Ivo Welch) (01/24/91)

Can anyone recommend a source for a good, cheap SCSI DAT drive with the
standard features (read-after-write verification, fast seek, etc.) ?

(Preferably this source would be outside the state of California, to avoid
sales tax). I presume I could qualify for any academic discount...

Thanks for any information. Please mail to my private account (I shall post a
summary, if I get a number of sources).

Why would you want prive mail? If the net is going to share the traffic, 
let's share the info also, even if it's only ONE source!!!

Well, I  thought I would   post  a summary, but   responses  were very
scarce.  The best source I found was Lex Electronics ((714) 587-0404),
which quotes roughly  $1,600 for their  DAT drive.   Someone mentioned
Tallgrass drives, but  these were (discounted)  more  like  $2,500. Of
course,   they may have additional  features   and/or software, but  I
wanted a plain-vanilla 1.3GB DAT drive...
