Not that I have seen.  To solve this problem, we added an Archive
2150ES (can write 125 and 150s, and read 60, 125 and 150s), to our
existing Adaptec SCSI setup, and a Wangtek 60 megger (for ~$250) just
for writing 60 and 45 Meg tapes for our software products.  The only
nasty thing about this is that the Wangtek has its own controller,
eating up a valuable slot.
