The 1260 (or later) will do 6250, but I can't recommend it--it isn't
terribly good at reading tapes that the Fuji does fine on.  I suspect a
couple of reasons for this--the transport mechanism itself and the very
low speed at 6250 (less induced EMF in the head).

If that's not important, it is pretty lightweight and comes in a SCSI
version as well.
