To "endorse" and to "encourage" may not be the right words because the answer to that question would be none. If you ask which one it supports that is a different question. SCSI it would support most tapes and probably most removable media (Jaz, Zip, ....). IDE or parallel I think people have got the parallel zip to work. Did you try searching the Handbook or the archives? I seem to recall reading something on the handbook. >I'm not sure if manufactures enclose information on how to setup their >hardware/software with UNIX, but if there is any documentation you could >provide me I would appreciate it...
