- I didn't see a price in that announcement. Do I gather correctly that it is
- about $400 by the time you get through with all the special software needed ?
- It seems to me you are getting close to the cost of a SCSI DC250 drive,
- which will blow the doors off a floppy controller driven drive, besides
- being a more general purpose unit (special software is not required for SCSI
- tapes). A hint for CMS would be: don't charge os/2 users a premium over
- what windows folks pay.

- PS. It's only fair to mention that I work for another tape drive company.
