What's the capacity of this puppy? Google suggests 4/8 GB. Even for "free" tape drives, I'd almost always suggest going SCSI. Media are far less expensive, and if you'll price eBay, I think you'll find that there are equivalent or better drives available for less than $100. By the time you factor in media, you're ahead of the game. No specific suggestions for configuring GNU/Linux for this puppy. ...but I can help you get your SCSI tape running ;-) Cheers. -- Karsten M.
