Date: 25 Nov 1996 16:10:47 -0500 Organization: InterLog Internet Services (416) 975-2655 info@interlog.com Lines: 22 Message-ID: <57d20n$lhr@gold.interlog.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: gold.interlog.com I'm looking to pick up a tape drive for casual use on my home machine. I'm a student (for a little while longer :) and am trying to keep the costs down, and I'm without a SCSI controller. Has anyone had any good experiences with IDE tape drives under NetBSD? I've heard that the Colorado T1000 will work, but I've not had any decent luck with their products in the past ( a number of years back), so am a little leary.. Or are tape drives so long lived that I ought to save my pennies and pick a SCSI controller up for Christmas and then look into a series piece of work?
