Hi,

	I'm running FreeBSD on a pc with the Adaptec 1542 ISA SCSI
controller.  I currently do not have a tape back up and want to get
one really soon.  What device would work well with BSD as well as
windows?  I am on a pretty tight budget so many of the DAT drives etc
are out of the question.... I have considered the Iomega Jaz or the Zip
drives, but really don't know much about 'em.  Anyways, any
recommendations would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Tom Misiak
