Does anybody know if the floppy/tape driver source uploaded by Steve
Gerakines on (or about) Sept 4 for 386bsd will work with the Colorado
Jumbo tape drives? This software is new to me and the posted articles
did not mention any specific hardware. I have a Colorado 120 installed
in another machine and am reluctant to rip it out and hook to to bsd
if we're not talking the same class of animal. I have a hardware
compression controller card for this drive. If this driver works
for Colorado, should the controller card be used or omitted?

Please post responses to this news group as the mail address is
unreliable. Thanks.
