Old tape drives with the Pertec interface (might look like 2 ribbon-cable plugs next to each other) won't work, since there's no BSD driver for the interface cards. Just treat them like regular tape drives, just a lot slower, bigger, louder, and with a lot less capacity :) -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com
