4. I had 2 WangDAT 3100's that only did 2, swapped them out for 2 3200's
that can do either 2 or 4. Nice drives, about $10-24 each dependant on
condition or seller and tapes are relatively cheap, even new ones. I prefer
the HP branded tapes myself, plenty of luck with them so far.
Memorex! ~$3 each, excellent performance. Although at 3 bux a tape, I
usually rotate 'em out after 12 or 15 overwrites. Paranoid is my middle
