TZ86 = DLT-II (6GB) TZ87 = DLT-III/DLT2000 (10/20GB) or DLT2000XT (15/30GB) Quantum bought the rights to the technology way back in 1994 and sold the drives to other people as well as DEC AFAIK, so if anyone sees and old DLT-II or DLT-2000 drive float by at a low price GRAB IT :) -- Mark Benson http://DECtec.info Twitter: @DECtecInfo HECnet: STAR69::MARK Online Resource & Mailing List for DEC Enthusiasts.
