That is what I use also, well except mine is 12/24 vintage. Magazines to hold the tapes can be purchased also. I have 6 or 7, 4 loaded with my 24 daily amanda tapes, one with archive config tapes, and others with cleaning and misc tapes. A weekend chore is to swap the magazines in the tape drive and at my off-site storage location (aka my next door neighbors :). Ahh, glad this came up, I'll need the magazine at my neighbors while they are away on vacation. Better get it before they leave. -- Jon H.
