I've been using a 4xDDS2 changer made by Connor/Seagate. They've been turning up at auction and surplus houses. I run it under FreeBSD-3.x with Amanda's chio driver. The first one I bought was US$125 from www.onsale.com including the 4x tape-holder cartridge! Last I checked, www.ezsystems.com had em but you'll need to get the 4x cartridge separately for a total cost of around US$300-400 or something. There's also a 12x cartridge but I've never tried it so I can't vouch for it's durability. It's the most cost-effective thing I've found, though stock at surplus houses changes quite a bit. I can't affor DLT even without a changer :-( To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
