Hi,

I am in need of a 4mm External DAT tape drive to back up my FreeBSD 
machines.  I was wondering if any of you had good words for a particular 
drive.  Am looking for 2G - 4G capacity.

Last I remember there was a discussion on the hardware list 2 months
ago, but there was no clear winner.

Thanks.

PS: Also, need a recommendation for FreeBSD (free) software which works
		well with DAT Tape drives.
