I called Tulin today, and it isn't a DC2000 drive or a DAT drive.  It uses
"Data Cassettes" which I guess are 155MB extra-density cassettes that more
or less look like audio tapes.

According to Tulin, one of those tapes (CT600 or CS600) costs $25 for a
155MB version.  Inmac sells them for $17.69, same size, and even less
with a quanity purchase.  I'm going to call Elek-Tek and see if they carry
them so I get them right away.
