	My Colorado Jumbo 350 floppy tape drive just blew up its motor for the
second time and I'm abandoning that product line.  It's just not reliable: I've
had endless problems with media errors, hardware breakage, and the lack of
support under FreeBSD.

	It's time to get a real tape drive.  I'm looking for a good 4 or 8mm
tape subsystem that a) works under things like Norton Backup (for the DOS
side of the house) and b) works right under FreeBSD as a no-fuss no-bother
SCSI tape drive.

	Is this available for under $1,000?  If so, what is it, and where is it?

	Thanks!
