Mike - this would be a good complete system for
you Mike and good
it has tapes.
that may have the little cartridge drive in it too but beware the
cartridge drives they seem to all have gummy capstans... I ruined a
fos tape put it in... got error... pulled it out and looked like it
was slimed with the 'black oil' like in x files! there is a work around
for this though using some glue and rings on the capstan roller after
you scrape the goo off. having the large tape drive is better
anyway. like this unit has.
To be clear:
The computer does not have a cartridge tape drive. The computer rack has
the CPU and three shoebox drives. I believe each drive is about 330MB.
The tape drive that I would add in the deal is a rackmount HP7980
AUTOLOADER. I think it is so cool to watch these drives load a tape.
Almost magical how the tape winds it's way through the drive.
See yas.
