I am concidering to buy a 486DX50 ISA bus motherboard and a SCSI Adaptec Controller 1542 in order to hook a Fujitsu (or similar) 1.2GB disk and a QIC tape streamer. The questions are: * Has anybody run BSD on similar configurations succesfully? (i.e. no problems with large disks, scsi ids and other hardware problems) * Any idea on which tape streamer is out there on the market that will have a scsi interface, will read the QIC-24 standard (70MB tapes from Suns) and will have a reasonable price? Any information on the above questions will be greatly appreciated. Please answer by e-mail and I will then summarize. Thanks in advance, K J Dryllerakis ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- K J Dryllerakis Deparment of Computing Logic Programming Group Imperial College, LONDON Janet: kd @uk.ac.ic.doc Tel: +71 589 5111 x5089 Uucp : kd@icdoc.UUCP -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
