Perhaps I can save you some cash (and clients).

The tape backup system I market is Archive's "FasTape".  This is an
external system mounted in a stand-alone cabinet with its own power supply
so, it won't over burden your AT's internal power supply.  
It uses DC-600 1/4" cartridges with 60 MB capacity, and is FCC, UL, and
CSA approved for 115VAC or 230VAC operation.  It writes tapes in 
industry standard QIC-11/QIC-24 format so, you can write them on your
Xenix system and read them on your Sun (if you want to).  

This tape system is very rugged and professionally implemented; suggested
retail price is $1150.00, but I give fellow Xenix users a great deal on
this tape system at $695.  That includes the Tape drive, controller card,
cable, and PC-DOS program.  

SCO Xenix has driver support for this tape system included in its 
distribution.  All you have to do is configure the base-address, 
DMA channel, and interrupt, then enter the mkdev tape command and
follow the prompts.  Within a few minutes the new driver is linked into
your kernel, and you can backup your hard drives painlessly.
