The best bargin for the money seems to be the ARCHIVE FASTPE for 60MB of
storage for about $600, either Internal or External.  Check your distributor
for Prices, but I buy ours from TECH DATA.  They also have a newer system
called VIPER that is either 60MB or 150MB for less than $1750 for internal
or external.  These drives are reliable, and use the internal drivers of
SCO for either standard transportable tapes, or ECC format tapes.  I have
moved tapes from these to ATT3B, IBM-RT, and several other machines.
There are other fancier, more expensive tape drives, but not necessarily 
any better.
