Why?
Hmm, after thinking about this a little bit I can see that there might be
a conflict. But I would still like a technical answer to my "why"
question :)
Yup, it is. Your best bet might be to pick up nearly
every tape drive you
find that isn't identical to one you already have...unless you want spares
anyway.
That's what I'm doing. I guess I'll need to have a cabinet just for
storing drives.
