Hi,
I'm thinking about buying an Exabyte 8205XLE 8mm SCSI tape drive.
Should I? I've dug through the freebsd list archives and have seen mixed
reviews. Some folks seem to swear by them and others seem to have plenty
of trouble.
Could some kind soul provide something of an authoritative answer as to
whether or not these drives work well with FreeBSD (2.1-stable and up)?
Is there anything special I need to do to get them to work?
Thanks much,
---
