This one is light and small enough to be shipped. It's a 'Gigastore' drive=
from Digi-Data Corp. Best of all, it includes the operation/maintenance=
manual(!).
The 'Gigastore' is a weird device. What Digi-Data did is take a regular=
VHS VCR, make some modifications to the transport assembly, and added=
their own electronics to provide a Pertec interface. The result was a tape=
backup system that used regular VHS tapes, could store up to 2.5 gigabytes=
of data, and could interface to any Pertec controller.
This one's cheap: $25.00 or best offer, plus shipping.
Also, FYI: The HP 9-track drive I mentioned earlier would include the=
manual.
Thanks much.
