I hope someone with some experience would improve the floppy tape support in FreeBSD, since there are a number of us with floppy tape units. They may not be as good as SCSI, but they are in-expensive and generally trouble-free. >SCSI is _SOO_ much better. True, but some of us already have floppy tape units, and can't afford to buy a SCSI adapter and a SCSI tape drive. // Roland Jay Roberts - Team OS/2 - // Internet: jay@map.com // FidoNet: Roland Roberts @ 1:321/305.5
