I differ to your judgement of course. If the drive is hopelessly broken
from a design point of view, then there does not seem to be much point in
supporting it. But if it can work to a reasonable degree, then I am all

claimed reliability of their media over travan tape technology do make it
potentially appealing for certain applications.
