AFAIK, yes. They spit out some odd error messages on boot since their SCSI iplementatinos aren't complete, but they do work. I don't know if we ever figured out how to get a freeBSD filesystem on them. > I've also taken a look into QIC-Wide Drives which seem to be on > to about the speed of a DAT and are SCSI-2... > Do they work with FreeBSD? If they're SCSI, most likely. I believe we have one of these drives, a Connor 4gb. Works great. You'd have to ask about specific models, no doubt you'll get the whole range of opinions :) > I'd almost be happier with a JAZ drive because it would be a highly > useful thing to have versus a tape drive is only used for one thing... > JAZ disks can be used for anything... But you can't cram 8gb on a jaz, and you can on very modern tape drives :) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major
