After the much repeated suggestion to 'dump 
the floppy tape drive', I am looking for
a SCSI tape for backup purposes.  I have
reviewed the list of 'drives in use' by
FreeBSD users, and I have another question.

Is anyone using a Travan drive with FreeBSD?
I am currently on v2.1.7, waiting for my C
(CD) to upgrade.  I am wondering about 
drives along the lines of HP's Colorado
T4000 and Seagate's TapeStor 8000.  both
are external SCSI (since we will be changing
machines at least two more times by summer's
end).

thanks for any experience!
