But I am interested in getting some advice in advance on what scsi DDS tape drives will work with my Adaptech 1520 card. (SCSI II) In a release notes file, I noticed that they said that there was "weak support" for this card -- yet it works just fine with my ZIP drive. Would I be looking for trouble if I got a DDS for that type. In any case, I am looking for a replacement for my Iomega Ditto Floppy Tape drive -- since apparently there is no driver for it and people here, apparently, have some moral problems with floppy drives :) BTW, I am using FreeBSD 2.2.5. PS: Any advice an SCSI hard drives -- I am looking for the right balance between size (500 MB minumum -- 2 GIG maximum) and price.
