I saw the following add:
For sale:
Unix driver software for Colorado memory systems DJ-20 jumbo 250 mb tape drive.
Works with Interactive, Intel, SCO unix and xenix, att unix.
It is menu driven, or command line invoked.
Backup files are read/writable compatible with Colorado's DOS backup
software. Raw device is also available, for tar, cpio, etc.


The 386 bsd hardware FAQ says not to buy these tape drives, since they are 
incompatible with 386 BSD.
So has anyone tried the driver? Is it compatible with 386BSD?
