Any > recommendations on floppy based tape drives? I have a Colorado Jumbo 350 which is recognised and i can send commands to, move the tape, view tape dirs, etc, but apparently can't write successfully with the DC2120XL (350MB) tapes (error when it reaches end of a track, apparently not expecting such a length of tape). I haven't tried yet with the plain DC2120 (250MB) tapes, but i have a feeling they would work fine. (BTW, anyone know if 'ft' actually supports the DC2120XL or even the new DC2120EX tapes?)
