To: questions@freebsd.org Date: Tue, 7 Jan 1997 18:29:06 -0700 (MST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL25] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Has anyone tried using one of these beasts, or any other SCSI QIC-Wide drive, with FreeBSD? I know that BSD in general is friendly with SCSI tape drives, but these are the spawn of "floppy tapes" and therefore suspect until proven otherwise. If they work well, I'd like to get one -- speed is not really an issue. Data capacity is about 1.6 M uncompressed, which is fine, I've only got 1.0 M on-line currently anyway. Corporate Systems Center has a bunch of internal (3.5" x 1") ones for $139. Backups are a many-splendored thing... ;^) -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
