Anyways, yeah I am looking for an IBM 9348 scsi
tape drive. I was looking into
using it in a little
IBM 360 emulator that runs on Ubuntu but mainly it's
for bragging rights (Chicks dig guys with big
drives). Now while it is samller it's still hjeavy
(if you alrready have one than you understand me
here) so if you want to part with yours PLEASE
promise me that it works before I shell out. It
would be nice to get one locally too. If you're flexible on the packaging, there are a
number of SCSI 6250 bpi
9-track tape drives that were offered by DEC, HP,
etc.
The IBM 9348 drive is a great drive - I wish I had one
too. That same drive was sold by IBM, HP and Overland
data with different faceplates. I don't recall who
actually made it, but I seem to believe that it was
HP.
