[Sunhelp] Tape library recommendations

[Bill Bradford]

Single drives are MUCH cheaper than autoloaders.  Our $155K system
had *six* DLT-8000 drives, robotic loader/bar-code-scanner, touchscreen
control panel, held 160 or so tapes, etc.

I've seen DLT 4700 units (single DLT 4000 drive, 7-tape autochanger) for
under $2k at some places.
