=============================================================================
Both Wangtek 5150ES and IBM/Tandberg TDC3600 are internal, 5 1/4", half-height,
SCSI/QIC-150 tape drives, both can read/write DC6150/DC6250, and read DC600A
cartridges.  5150ES can also write QIC-120 tapes (120Mb/DC600A), I do not know
about TDC3600.  Both models can sustain transfers up to 6Mb/min.  5150ES comes
with a blurb describing the jumpers, TDC3600 has a "jumper" sticker.
