} I have read just about everything I can get my hands on about backup devices } for FreeBSD and still can't make a decision. I currently am not running the } OS, but am about to purchase hardware to backup Win95 and in the future } FreeBSD (I am a CS student at Virginia Tech), so here is your chance to } steer someone in the right direction before they spend bucks. From what I } read I'm assuming Adaptec's 2940 PCI SCSI Master is a good choice. Now, I } have heard that 1.3/2 GB DAT drives can be bought "cheap" and I've even seen } the price quotes for www.corpsys.com (which I could not access) but the ones Get an 8mm Exabyte drive for $300. Cheaper, better, faster and cheaper media than anything else. Richard
