Does anyone out there have the >info that I'm after? BSD/OS 2.0.1 does not support tapedrives with IDE bus. BSD/OS 2.1, which currently is not yet available but has been announced, does support ATAPI and thus should support your drive. Please don't ask BSDI directly when 2.1 comes out; people are working very hard to make it happen and additional enqueries slow things down. Geert Jan
