Hello,

I am in the process of putting together a system to run FreeBSD. Several
people have recommended that I purchase a JAZ or ZIP drive to do backups.
I am purchasing a SCSI based system, with 4.2 GBytes of Disk space.

1) Does FreeBSD support either of both of these drives?

2) Is there a recommendation for against either one?

3) Should I get a DAT drive instead?

Thanks for any and all help.
