Now that I upgraded my motherboard to Intel Zappa P-90,
my litlle Archive 250 floppy tape no longer works.  Unfortunately,
I have a bunch of DC-2120 (QIC-80) tapes I would like to be
able to use with whatever new tape drive I get.

Is there a drive out there that works under FreeBSD and Windows95,
that can still read/write these tapes?

What about the so-called "Travan" drives -- do they work under
FreeBSD?  They seem to have fairly high capacity, but do they
work under FreeBSD, and can they use DC-2120 tapes?

Thanks in advance.

-Ken
