We are interested in obtaining a cartridge tape backup system.  We have
several XT's and AT's and we need some method of backing up the disks.
Floppies are ridiculous.

We would like to get an internal model that would fit in the bottom floppy
disk hole in an AT (We have all the machines on a network, so we'd only
need one).  We want to use this under PC/IX, so PC/IX support
is important, although if the manufacturer would be willing to release
enough of the details of the device, we would be willing to write our own 
device driver.

So, for those of you out there with tape backup systems, even if they don't
support PC/IX, please *mail* me your experiences with the model.  Send
approximate price and capacity also.  What you like and don't like about it.  
Anything else you can think of.

I will summarize at a later date.
