As one more data point: I am using a MicroNet SBX300 and it works fine (if
you use it withOUT an internal drive (as I am) you should mention that when
ordering and get a terminator for the internal SCSI connector).  MicroNet
supplies partitioning sw that creates MacOS and A/UX partions.  And using
dp (avaliable from sash) really isn't bad either if you have to.

As for tape my suggestion is that you call Archive and ask about their
150/250 MB drive (which uses DC300 style cartridges) I think its called
the MaxStream 150/250.
