Have a micronet 2 gig cartridge drive for sale or trade. Slower than a tax return but very reliable and works as if it were designed to run retrospect. Includes 19 4mm carts, cable and inline terminator. I'd rather trade for 168 pin ram or an interesting card but will take cash if I have to.
It's a tape drive, 2 GB capacity, and you provide with it 19 tapes?
Slow as hell, but works great?
I want! Tag my name on it!

Actually there are 20 tapes and the great honkin' scsi cable complete with an inline terminator that comes with it. I'm short on power cables so you'll have to scrounge one up on your own. Now before you get too excited let me point out that this unit is too old to take advantage of compression so it really is a 2 gig device. Wellll, better make that 1.9gigs. I think it's a Sony mechanism and, yeah, you really only want it to come out at night and do what it does.
It looks impressive as all get outs but in today's world really isn't worth all that much. I had originally hoped to swap it for a generic firewire card but that seems a bit steep for the old boy. A good USB card seems fair, though, although if you happened to have an unused firewire card collecting dust....
It's too old to be worth the kind of ram I'm looking for and I have no use for 64meg chips or less now.
back that thing up!
