I use an Archive Python coupled to a Connor DAT changer. If you're in
the San Francisco Bay Area, you can get them from the Disk Drive Depot
for ~$400 for the DDS-1 version, or ~$1000 for the DDS-2 version. It
comes with a 4-tape magazine. A 12-tape magazine is available for it, as
well.
I don't recall the exact model number ... but, you can check out the
DDD's stuff at http://www.corpsys.com/
I know the changer driver works with that changer, since that's the
changer I had when I wrote the driver :-)
