Right.  I know they exist... just can't find them. :)

  Do peripherals count too?  If so, try finding a
9-track   drive that doesn't
  take up as much room as your fridge.  Any EDSI
hardware and   controllers have
  been very elusive to me as well.  
 Actually, there are some table-top 9-track drives.  There is 
 a limit on how
 small a 9-track drive can be since you have to accommodate 
 two large reels.

 In fact, next week I'm picking up a table-top 9-track SCSI 
 drive for $75.
