I am using two DLT4700 and one DLT2700 and I am very happy with it. They are running every night on one of their seven tapes. From time to time I read old tapes (3 years old) and never had a problem. I use them on -STABLE since 2.x upto now. The changers are supported by chio out of the box. If you want to upgrade the firmware this also can be done directly without the need to boot any DOS/NT crap. -Andre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
