Dell unix 4.0

[Wei Jen Yeh]

  Would somebody usnig Dell unix 4.0 comment on which tape drive he's using?
We originally planned to purchase an Archive 2150s, but then found out from
dell support that the officially supported tape drive is wangtek 5150pk,
which requires an extra controller.  Is anyone using the archive 2150s
with dell's unix 4.0?  Is there any problem during the installation (using
the 2150s)? And are those two drives compatible? (sorry, I don't know much
about tape drive standards)  I would rather use a scsi tape drive if possible.

  Also, I would appreciate any comment/experience on 150mb (scsi or not) tape
drives.  I've been calling around for the 2150s, but could not find one.
Thus, any source (reliable, and preferablly cheap) concerning the 2150s is
also appreciated.

  Thanks in advance for your help.
