I bought a EXEBYTE 8505XL tape drive from him, which I use for backup
at home. He has an IPX listed:

 15,000 Yen  32M/480MB/GX/

Seems to be quite knowledgeable. Though his warranties are very short,
we was quite will to refund my money for the tape drive, when there
was some confusion on my part as to whether it was a 8505XL or not.
