Spier > spierk@turing.cs.rpi.edu > Kevin L. Spier > spierk@turing.cs.rpi.edu Well it is a very good tape drive for the money. It is almost identical to the Jumbo 120. The only thing is it has a few more built in chips to allow 250MB capacity instead of 120MB. It uses the same tapes as the Jumbo 120 and runs at the same speed. I just hate formatting tapes, takes close to 2 hours! James -- +-------------------------------------------------------------+ + James O'Flynn@mindlink.UUCP Vancouver, B.C.

Does anybody know anything about this tape drive. I just saw it advertised for the first time and it looks quite impressive. It seems to sell for about $60 more than the Jumbo 120 and the tapes cost about the same. If anyone has any info on this please e-mail me. I am looking to purchase a tape drive and this seems to be a very good deal. Thanks in advance. Kevin L. Spier spierk@turing.cs.rpi.edu Kevin L. Spier spierk@turing.cs.rpi.edu
