Only floppy controller type QIC drives seem to work - and then you're limited to QIC-40/80 only. And SCSI of course. Colorado Jumbo 250/350 and some Conner floppy tape drives are known to work. (Reports from anyone else are welcome :->). Did you have a specific drive in mind? If you can afford it, SCSI is definately the better option. Cheers, Joel...
