Hello,

I am running version 1.1.5.1 on a '386 and it is working well.  I don't have
a SCSI controller in the system, and hope not to have to buy one.

I would like suggestions as to which non-SCSI (read cheap) tape backup unit I
should buy.  Colorado 250s are cheap and easy to find around here.  I can also
get Conners and Irwins.  Any ones which are better than others for FreeBSD?

Thanks,

Hugh Ellis
