Mike, I've had good luck with HP SureStore 5000i drives. (4mil DAT internal) Around 800$ last time I checked. [RC] ---------- From: owner-freebsd-questions To: freebsd-questions Subject: Good, cheap 8mm tape system needed Date: Sunday, July 14, 1996 5:11PM My Colorado Jumbo 350 floppy tape drive just blew up its motor for the second time and I'm abandoning that product line. It's just not reliable: I've had endless problems with media errors, hardware breakage, and the lack of support under FreeBSD. It's time to get a real tape drive. I'm looking for a good 4 or 8mm tape subsystem that a) works under things like Norton Backup (for the DOS side of the house) and b) works right under FreeBSD as a no-fuss no-bother SCSI tape drive. Is this available for under $1,000? If so, what is it, and where is it? Thanks! Mike O'Brien aka Mr. Protocol, on a good day at least, which so far this is not
