Greetings, I put together this little entry for Section 10.5.5.5 the other day. Could some please consider adding it to the handbook. A reply, no matter how short, on whether this has been accepted or not would be most appreciated. Thanks. Regards, Joel... [snip] Colorado Jumbo 350 The boot message identifier for this drive is "Colorado tape". This is a floppy controller, minicartridge tape drive. Native capacity is 125MB for the 307.51' tape and 170MB for the 425' tape without compression. Data transfer rate is 500Kbps. The drive is compatible with 307.51' QIC-80 tape cartridges with the current version of the ft driver. It is possible to use 425' tapes with a patch to the kernel source. Please email the reporter if you wish to try the 425' patch. Reported by: Joel Sutton <sutton@aardvark.apana.org.au>
