I have a Jumbo 350 looking for a good home. Still in original box,
has cable, software (including win95 version that Colorado was giving
away free for a short while), brochures and 4 tapes. This drive worked last time I used it... which was a
whiles ago.
One thing that needs to be checked and cleaned on the DC2000 type drives
is the rubber drive wheel. The rubber wheel should be soft, but not sticky
or damaged. If the wheel isn't in good shape, the drive won't be able to
run the tape at the proper speed, and might even damage the tape.
