| Aren't these prices on VTX PRICE (or its Web replacement)? I haven't
checked, but . . . .

| The XT is a longer version of the CompacTape III cartridge. Its thinner, too,
so it won't work in TZ87 drives, but it will work in any drive that accepts
the CompacTape IV cartridge (like the TZ88 or TZ89).
Quantum made an XT drive which they called the DLT3000; Digital decided not to
make it a Digital product. Quantum is still selling a lot of these drives, they
are priced low to compete with 8mm and 4mm tapes on the desktop, but it was
probably the right decision not to productize it in StorageWorks.

| RE .1, well I tried to get VTX and the web pages to get prices
on all three, out of all my searching I only found the
Compac Tape III list price. Perhaps I didn't crawl all
the twisty little passages but I did many.

Here's an excerpt from some mail I received today...
Please note that VTX Price still has the pricing for the "old"
numbers and does not yet list the "new" numbers...
"OLD" PART NUMBERS

CompacTape IV
> THXKD-01 Single CompacTape IV, non-logo'd.
(To be replaced by new part # in April `97)
> SWXMP-XX Mass Pack, Seven THXKD-01 cartridges.
(To be replaced by new part # in April `97)

| 6614.5 | costs for the DLTs | REGENT::HUMMERS | | Mon Apr 28 1997 12:41 | 17 |
| Thanks for the input on the numbers, old and new!
I looked up the numbers given (old had prices, new do not yet have
prices), shown here for reference:
Compact Tape IV USCLP $100.00
Compact Tape III-XL USCLP $ 60.00
Compact Tape III USCLP $ 45.00
The 'Mass Pack' numbers are actually more than 7x the single cartridge
cost but it appears like they have the loader frame included.
The 'Mass Pack' number for 21 tapes is exactly 21*the single cartridge
cost.
