Two words - door stop.
Travan is evil and not to be trusted, no matter what the interface -
or what the dealer says. If your dealer will take it back, trade it in.
Otherwise, sell it on ebay (if they're still up). And either way, get a
nice DAT drive, or go to a surplus house and get a nice DLT at a
good price.
