The 1260 (or later) will do 6250, but I can't recommend it--it isn't terribly good at reading tapes that the Fuji does fine on. I suspect a couple of reasons for this--the transport mechanism itself and the very low speed at 6250 (less induced EMF in the head). If that's not important, it is pretty lightweight and comes in a SCSI version as well. --Chuck
