I currently have two devices sitting on my desk.  The first is
a Sony DDR-700 digital encoder/decoder.  This at very high speed
encodes data into a rather conventional SONY BETA tape deck.  Of
course the thing is rather difficult to deal with.   The other
device I have is an EXABYTE SCSI tape unit that records on 8mm
video tape cartridges.  It looks fairly nice, does a sustained
~250 KByte a second (a bit on the slow side) but has a 256 K
buffer.
