I need a high capacity tape backup solution for FreeBSD. In the past, I have used DAT with no problems, but now I need something quite a bit bigger and more reliable. Does FreeBSD support AIT or DLT devices? Would these be considered "SCSI" as stated in the FreeBSD FAQ? BTW, I wasn't sure if this message should be posted in freebsd-scsi or freebsd-question...Hope I chose correctly The FreeBSD FAQ states: "FreeBSD supports SCSI, QIC-36 (with a QIC-02 interface) and QIC-40/80 (Floppy based) tape drives. This includes 8-mm (aka Exabyte) and DAT drives. The QIC-40/80 drives are known to be slow. Some of the early 8-mm drives are not quite compatible with SCSI-2, and may not work well with FreeBSD." --Chris -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Christopher Taylor Technical Director Earth Broadcasting Corporation (EBC) 415 East 200 South Salt Lake City, Utah 84111 phone: (801) 322-3949 cell: (801) 541-8287 email: chris@thedial.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
