220702 -
220703 - On 011010 Charles at Exabyte planned to send a letter confirming an
220704 - order to purchase a terminator for about $94, ref SDS 20 MO5O, under

220707 - Today, we received a letter from Ram Electronics, ref DRT 1 0001,
220708 - responding to an earlier inquiry on 011011, ref DRT 1 0002, asking for

220745 -
220746 - Subsequently, on 011011, Exabyte proposed solving this problem by
220747 - selling a terminator for $94, as noted above.
220748 - ..
220749 - Since we have not received the confirmation letter promised from
220750 - Exabyte, and since Ram Electronics did an excellent job in its letter
220751 - of not only quoting an "as equal" product, but, also, providing
220752 - information on the product we requested, ref DRT 1 TW7L, and further
220753 - since the cost is 33% of the price quoted by Exabyte, decided to order
220754 - two of these items, so we have some backup inventory in case Exabyte
220755 - fails to perform.
220756 -
220757 - The terminator Exabyte quoted is likely fancier, i.e., "inline" so it
220758 - plugs into the back of the tape drive, rather than into the cable pin
220759 - connector, ref SDS 20 6U7H, however, it is not clear at this time that
220760 - this improves performance for the additional cost.
220761 - ..
220762 - The cost for 2 items is about $56 with shipping.
220763 -
220764 - The transaction procedure was quick and easy.

220769 - efforts paid off.
