Re: What company brand is the streaming tape drive in the III?

My Series III is at 8.29r. What would be required to update it to 9.34, in order to take advantage of these larger SCSI devices?

Once a system is upgraded to the "last" revision 9.34, very many SCSI devices of up to 4 Gbytes can be used as storage. One can then archive from streamer or 140 Mbyte hard disc onto 4 Gbyte hard drives, or even Compact Flash cards both of which cost only a few dollars each...
