Yep That's where we went but it was 40/80G back then
(what I said was an Exabyte was actually an Overland 10 Tape Loader.)
We bought it from here (was best quote out of 7 we got in Aus at the time)

It was $9800 ish. (18 months ago now.) Tapes range from $108 up.
DLT1's : they are all made by the same manufacturer apparently, so shopping
is good knowing qualtiy is the same. (3M vs Imation, vs, Quantum, vs IBM etc)
