I'm thinking of buying an Exabyte 8200 full height internal SCSI 8mm tape
drive to go in my FreeBSD 2.0R box.  It's a 486DX2-80 w/ 16Meg and
an Adaptec 1542 already driving a CD.  The hard drive system is IDE.

This all looks fine to me, but before I lay out the bucks, I'd feel better
with some confirmation.

TIA,

Jeff
