I'm not going to say that since I still have a stinking Colorado 350 in this machine that I can't find the money to replace with a nice DAT drive. Even though its nowhere near as good as the newer drives, i still don't want to throw it away. It doesn't work at all with ft in FreeBSD right now, however. At least slow backups will be better than no backups. :-) -- Chris Dillon --- cdillon@inter-linc.net --- cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us /* Powered by FreeBSD, the best operating system on the planet.
