Depends on the drive. If you got an Echo drive (SCxx), you're right. The ADR drives--yes, they all use ADR tape technology, but confusingly there's also a model line called "ADR"--on the other hand, are ordinary SCSI drives, according to the OnStream representative I talked to at CeBIT. For instance, they're certified to work with the plain Linux SCSI tape driver. A few days ago I asked whether anybody's running an ADR50 successfully off a FreeBSD box but received no response. Actually I'm not sure the ADR50 is in the stores yet. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
