I'm thinking of buying a DLT subsystem from CSC. Its a 10/20 GB DLT drive in external enclosure, cable, terminator, and controller for $1495. The controller is based on Symbios 53C876. Is this likely to work with FreeBSD? Is the programming any different or is it only electrically different (differential vs single ended)? What about 10/20 GB DLT drives, can modenr 20/40 GB drives read the older tapes? Any other recommended drives? I already have a 2/4 GB DAT drive and am looking for something bigger and more reliable.
