Many people have recommended DLT, which i can only support. For those with less Euros (:-) available, let me add that i'm fairly happy with my Tandberg drive. It's 2.5 GB (+ compression), and should be in the same price range as DDS. The current technology for them is 4 GB native. (There are larger MLT drives available as well, with a similar technology to DLT, but they're more pricey.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
