Subject: Re : [386BSD] What tape drive should I use?
Lines: 14

I'm using a Sankyo 525s SCSI tape on an Adaptec 1542B runing BSDi/386.

I works just fine. It reads/writes QIC-150 and bigger tapes up to
QIC-525. I suspect it will also read QIC-60 as well but I've never seen
one to try.

The magic words are `QIC-xxx` where xxx is the storage capacity of the tape.

Typical values are QIC-150, QIC-250 and QIC-525.

I'm not sure about Us prices ( I'm a Brit ) but it should be under $1000...
