Douglas,

According to HPCwire - the demise of the tape drive industry is a common fallacy. In one of their recently copyrighted articles, they give the estimate of revenue of 5.2B in 2002 compared with 1998 revenue of 3.5B. They reference the 1999 Tape and Drive/Head Media Market and Technology Report by Toren Ajk and Dennis Waid.

Hopefully a switch designed for tape drives will have the competitive edge.
