From: Martin Welk <mw@pandora.sax.de> Reply-To: Martin Welk <mw@pandora.sax.de> Message-ID: <y6ca2c3w165w@mailbox.pandora.sax.de> Date: Wed, 01 Mar 95 13:11:33 +0100 Organization: Live from Trancentral Lines: 28 Hi everybody, I've got a PC with an Adaptec 1542B SCSI host adapter here and I want to use a SCSI streamer with it. My Wangtek 5150ES streamer doesn't work with FreeBSD so I want to purchase another QIC-150 device. I can get my hands on a Caliper streamer (SCSI1) and the one who sells it says it's also known as a Commodore 3070 (I think he used it with his Amiga). Please gimme a small mail containing your (good or bad) experiences with such a thing if you're using one. Thank you! Greetings, Martin P.S.: My question referring to a CD-ROM server based on FreeBSD was answered by some very helpful people. Thanks to all - I'm going to give you a summary of my experiences with it as soon as it's here. I wanted to use 5 Toshiba CD-ROM drives (XM5201) and they take a while until they're here... -- Martin Welk, Meissen/Elbe, Germany <|>-<|>-<|>-<|>-<|> mw@pandora.sax.de ,,Okay, everybody, lie down on the floor and keep calm...''
