Mark: I have a 3070 on my system, and I've removed it from it's external case, and installed it in a PC tower case with no problem. My 3070 has a regular 50 pin header connector like any other internal drive. The 3070 is actually a Caliper CP150 tape drive, and I think the reason it's sold as a 150 meg drive rather than a 250 is that the 'standard' tape for the drive only holds 150 megs. The same is true of the Wangtek 5150 that used to be sold by GVP, it's a 150 meg tape drive that can do 250 megs with the longer 6250 tapes. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that ANY 150 meg tape drive that uses 6150 tapes can hold 250 megs with the 6250 tapes. // -Mike Schiller \X/ AMIGA! On AutoPilot in sunny Fort Lauderdale
