Sorry I meant the SLR100.
pricewatch.com has it $1840 from PC Nation. Since Amanda does not
yet span filesystems across tapes, the SLR 100 is a good choice
for those who have to do block level backups of large disks.

But what's the capacity of the linear tape autoloaders? 15 slot/2 drive
8mm autoloaders fit in a 4U rackmount. And is the 5MB/s with or
without compression?

Well, actually a basic SLR100 is much less than $3K US, making it
stiff competition against both 8mm and DLT. I wonder why SLR isn't
better known or more commonly used.
