I haven't heard a specific report of someone who has one working. 
Isn't the TapeStor a SCSI??? Anyways. lft will only work with QIC-40/
80. 

> I know SCSI is recommended but I can't afford it.

I know how you feel. That's why I brought a Colorado 350 Jumbo. :-)

If you do end up going with one of these floppy tape drives give me a 
buzz as I'd really be interested to hear how it goes.

Hope this helps. Good luck, Joel...
