Folks:

The tape drive attached beginning to show it's age ... it constantly
wants to be cleaned (even though the cleaning light doesn't blink).

Any suggestions on a replacement?

I'm currently using a Seagate 12/24gb SCSI DDS3 tape drive.

I'd like to find a new SCSI tape drive that isn't TOO expensive, fits in
a 5 1/4" bay, and can hold at least 12gb uncompressed, and has
reasonably priced media.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

david
