I stand corrected... I should have made it clear I was talking about the models
10 and 30 range of the 3100's.... Trying to source a second-user TZ30's within
the UK at a sensible price is almost impossible :-)... I did fit a WangTek
5525ES (525MB Scsi) Tape drive inthe box but it refuses to work properlly, It
can be seen on boot up but INIT and MOUNT all give errors but that a problem
for another list on another day ( unless someone wants to take this to email
and offer some suggestions on this :-)
