Actually, I got 'Processor' which has adds for all sorts of good cheap stuff. In there I find several companies selling Exebyte 8200 drives, rated at 2Gig, for around $400. I'm guessing that these are an old model Exebyte drive, no longer available new but commonly in use and that these items for sale are refurbished drives. Is this a good tape drive to buy, or already obsolete? How much do tapes for this cost? So far, my best options are the Exebyte 8200 or something that uses the Travan TR-4 (TR-3?) tapes. Thanks, Tom Unger.
