While reading a computer type magazine, I found a very interesting add. It was for an outfit called Colorado Memory Systems, and the product, Jumbo. The add promises 120 MB of tape backup storage, industry standard QIC read and write capability, and working with IMB PC, XT, AT, 386, PS/2 and compatibles. It further promises Novell, 2COM, PC Net, and optional Xenix/Unix support. All this for $399.00 Now, I have been looking for a way to add tape backup capabilities to my 386 system from some time, but this price looks to low. Does anyone have any experiences with this company and/or device? What sort of performace, compatibility etc would this tape drive be expected to deliver in a Xenix/Unix environment? How difficult is it to add to a system? I plan on calling C.M.S. and getting all the information that they have, but I wanted the other side of the story also. Thanks, Erik. -- Erik Ohrnberger UUCP Work: uunet!edsews!edstip!ohrnb 2620 Woodchase Court UUCP Home: uunet!eds.com!echocen!erik Sterling Heights, MI 48310
