"you dont have to use a crudy little QIC-80" Here is a web document all about FreeBSD and tape drives. goto "http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook.html" and click on "10.4 Storage Devices" and then click on "10.4.5 Tape Drives". it talks about 4mm, 8mm, DLT, QIC and more. Should you have information to add, please send it me in private e-mail <jmb@freebsd.org> and i will add it to the page ;) jmb -- Jonathan M.
