I have a Colorado DJ-10 tape drive and would like to know if there is anyone else out there with one? The last time I posted this message, I got 2 reponses. I think that is ridiculous, considering the fact that they sold millions of units.. My next question is are there drivers for this tape drive either on 386BSD or LINUX? I need to get a unix system going with the tape backup system as soon as possible for school to learn about it. My third question is, does anyone own the UNIX drivers that COLORADO provides (I think it is for $99) and if you do, is the source code available for it so it could be ported? (I would obviously purchase it if it has source, but if not, it would not be useful to me) My final question is, What would be required to rebuild the kernal to accomodate this tape drive? I have limited hard disk space, and because of this, I cannot get anything past the bin distribution to install (I only have 85MB). Please respond to me at rcisnet2!root@moon.nbn.com, or if you are on a more primitive mailer: moon.nbn.com!rcisnet2!root. I don't get to check netnews that often, and when I do there are like 600 new messages on this group.
