Re: 250MB tape drive testing?

[Hong F Du]

There is no model number print on the drive. The only word I can see is 250MB at the lower left conner on the front. It accepts floppy drive connector. Since I found it in a junk box next to a Colorado Backup User's Guide For Windows(yuck), I assume this is a Colorado 250MB drive. Other tiny labels on the circuit board show H0984013 and HTW ICT-A1 4500 REVB 4893. I have no idea what they mean.
