It's just not reliable: I've had endless problems with media errors, hardware breakage, and the lack of support under FreeBSD. It's time to get a real tape drive. I'm looking for a good 4 or 8mm tape subsystem that a) works under things like Norton Backup (for the DOS side of the house) and b) works right under FreeBSD as a no-fuss no-bother SCSI tape drive. Is this available for under $1,000? If so, what is it, and where is it? Thanks! Mike O'Brien aka Mr. Protocol, on a good day at least, which so far this is not
