- I've got a Sysgen SmartImage 60 tape drive, and Sysgen
- insists that the only way to use the newest version of the
- driver software (which is free) is to purchase their $350
- (For you, my friend, on special for only $250) new
- controller card.
-
- The new driver is supposed to work better with DOS 5 and
- allow more flexibility in dealing with errors.
-
- Questions:
- Does anyone else in the civilized world use a
- Sysgen tape drive
-
- Does anyone have a reccommendation for a fast
- (4MB/min or better) external tape drive to replace
- the Sysgen? $250 for a controller card for an old
- unit seems steep...

- *** PLEASE RESPOND BY E-MAIL ***

- I'll summarize the hordes of responses to the net. :)
