I live in Northern Virginia. We have computer shows all the time here, and
got it there. I forget the name of the business, but could look it up if
necessary. I think I got a good price, but you can never be sure. I paid
$219 for it. It comes w/ one tape.
So far it has worked great (it is IDE). There is a bug in the ide-tape
driver that does not allow multiple archives on a single tape. I want to
look into it, but have been busy. At this point I'm pretty happy to have a
full backup once a week.
