I've got an external Parallel Tape drive (AIWA TD-P10), and I was wondering if it would work under FreeBSD. Having searched the archives, I haven't found anything really worth talking about. Basically, I just want to put this beast back into service, using it to do periodic backups of my laptop. Anyone have any ideas or is this a lost cause? I figure that if FreeBSD doesn't support it directly, I can use a different strategy to backup my data (i.e. copying it to the DOS partition on my HDD and backing that up from Win98), but I hope it doesn't come to that. --- Andy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
