Ahhh... which handbook? We just had a long discussion here and a number of people (not just me) said... loudly... that Travan and QIC are evil. I would suggest skipping both of 'em. Look at DAT drives instead. Seagate's Scorpion 12/24 gig drive is awesome. Also, look at http://www.corpsys.com/store/products.asp?dept=Tape%20Drives Corporate Systems Center has a number of attractive tape drives at reasonable prices. I've been happy with the company in the past.
