Keywords: Tape drives, SCSI, QIC Message-ID: <38239@sdcc12.ucsd.edu> Date: 18 Sep 92 06:04:33 GMT Sender: news@sdcc12.ucsd.edu Reply-To: bonner@age.com Organization: University of California, San Diego Lines: 18 Nntp-Posting-Host: sdcc13.ucsd.edu Hi, I didn't see info quite like what I was looking for in the FAQ, hopefully I didn't miss it. I am planning to get a tape drive RSN and I wanted to make as sure as possible that the one I got was supported by 386bsd (hence my avoidance of the cheaper Colorado drives). I am intending to get the Archive Viper 2150s drive. I get all these QIC standards confused, but I believe it's QIC 150 (If anyone wants to mail me and set my poor brain straight, feel free). Is this supported? Has anyone actually tried it? If not, can anyone recommend any comparable drives? I have a 486 ISA system, Adaptec 1542b SCSI controller that I would like to hook the tape drive to. thanks, and apologies if I've got something completely confused, Matt Bonner bonner@age.com Standard disclaimers apply.
