[...] This applies to the "SC" model series. Since CeBIT or thereabouts there has also been an "ADR" model series. Yes, the naming is a recipe for confusion since all of OnStream's tape drive use the ADR tape technology. Anyway, OnStream claims that the "ADR" models (ADR50 internel or external) are true SCSI tape drives that use the standardized command set and are supported by various unices out of the box without any need for special driver support. So an ADR50 *should* work under FreeBSD, too. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
