Tape back on SCO - suggestions??

According to bruce at mdi386.UUCP (Bruce A. McIntyre):

Our experience has been nothing but trouble when an Archive tape is used in
a fast I/O bus.  Tecmar tapes, on the other hand, work like a champ.

Note that fast CPU's don't necessarily have fast I/O buses.  Check your
hardware documentation.  Any faster than 6MHz -- maybe 8MHz, maybe -- and
I would avoid Archive.
