Wangtek tape drives
4 messages in this thread
Hi all,
Has anybody any experience with Wangtek tape drives? I've seen some of
their models for sale pretty cheap and was wondering if they would work
with a GVP scsi controller. The model that I think would work is a 5125ES.
I already have the Ami-Back software that is supposed to support tape
drives. Has anybody had luck using these drives with an Amiga? Thanks!
Paul,
I use a Wangtek 5150ES that I purchased directly from GVP, I used a
Series I and now a Series II controller with it. No problem, works fine, I
can't see why the 5125ES wouldn't work. Is that the 250MB version? I also
use AmiBack with it. Works like a charm, I've got an older set of ROMS in
the controller, they are version 3.12s/3.2a, that or higher should work
fine for you.

Thanks for the quick reply Chris! I've seen refurbished drives like this
going for about $300. I'm not sure of the size but its got to better then
floppies! Thanks again.

Paul,
Yes, I'm using a WangTek E5150ES tape drive with Quarterback 5.02 and it
works great. WangTeks are good drives.
