Dang, I paid $400 for mine. <G> I just got the Seagate/Conner/Archive/Maynard 2GB DAT drive. Works great under both DOS (using Central Point CPBackup v9.0), FreeBSD (using tar) and Windoze 95 (using Seagate Backup/Arcada v 1.1). 11MB/Min uncompressed and 2GB on an itty bitty little tape. Seems like heaven after using 120MB QIC-80 tapes for the last 5 years. <G> Mark
