What type of SCSI tape drive would you recommend for use in a 386bsd system?
I would like to add a SCSI tape, but I know very little about the SCSI
interface. Are the interfaces to all SCSI tapes the same, so that one driver
can handle them all? If not, what types of tape unit are supported by the
current SCSI driver? For compatibility reasons I have a leaning towards an
Exabyte drive. Does anyone have an Exabyte SCSI drive working with a 386bsd
system?

Thank you
