I've been wanting one at home, but haven't wanted to pay the $299. I'm wondering if The SyJet can read a SparQ cartridge? That would make hiway-net ;-) transfers home very easy. > > I hope they recover. I like their drives MUCH better than Iomega... I agree. The only problem we have with the SyJet cartridges is infant mortality. And that's only about 1 in 20. > Can I use an EIDE device on my FreeBSD 2.2.7 system (any special > patches/drivers out there?), can I use an EIDE device in 3.0, or should I > go through the trouble of returnign the thing in exchange for an external > SCSI version (I already have a SCSI adapter in the system)? What's the cost difference? SCSI is going to have better performance. But I'd be interested in the answer too. If the cartridge can be read by the SyJet. -- I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
