Colorado Memory Systems "Jumbo" tape drive.

While reading a computer type magazine, I found a very interesting
add.  It was for an outfit called Colorado Memory Systems, and the
product, Jumbo.  The add promises 120 MB of tape backup storage,
industry standard QIC read and write capability, and working with IMB
PC, XT, AT, 386, PS/2 and compatibles.  It further promises Novell,
2COM, PC Net, and optional Xenix/Unix support.  All this for $399.00

Now, I have been looking for a way to add tape backup capabilities to
my 386 system from some time, but this price looks to low.  Does
anyone have any experiences with this company and/or device?  What
sort of performace, compatibility etc would this tape drive be
expected to deliver in a Xenix/Unix environment?  How difficult is it
to add to a system?

I plan on calling C.M.S. and getting all the information that they
have, but I wanted the other side of the story also.

		Thanks,		Erik.
