I see that JMB posted my question here, but unfortunatly his answer 
didn't help me as much as I though it would....

I'm looking into these tape drives specifically :
Exabyte Eagle 96 Internal (Floppy I/F - QIC3020/3010)
Exabyte Eagle TR3  (Travan)
Iomega Ditto 3200MB Internal (QIC3020/3010)

It appears that both of the exabyte drives include interface cards which 
speed things up, and the Iomega includes a "Ditto Dash" accelerator.
But I have no idea if they're supported by FreeBSD...
I looked at the infopages JMB suggested, but unfortunatly they didn't say 
that this drive or type of drive was specifically supported.

The URL for the eagle 96 is - 
http://www.Exabyte.COM/Products/Minicartridge/Eagle96/Rfeatures.html
But they're not very helpful as they only list support for more 
commercial OSs.

Can anyone help me?

E-mail me at tgs@sirius.com or if you catch me on IRC I'm BiFrost...
