Bummer. :( I checked with Onstream before purchasing the drive, and they said they weren't supporing Unix yet, meaning they hadn't written any particular drivers. However, I had found in the past that most drives will still work, especially SCSI drives. Not the case for this particular drive, though, apparently. Do you know if FreeBSD will support DLT drives? ********************************************************************** * Bryce Newall * Email: data@dreamhaven.net * * WWW: http://www.dreamhaven.net/~data * ICQ: 32620929 * * "Insanity takes its toll.
