Folks:

There seems to more than a few people out there running FreeBSD on their 
protable computers.  Would there be any interest in a tape device driver 
allowing you to use one of the parallel port tape drives (ala 
Colorado's 'TRAKKER' series)?

Hypothetically speaking, of course, unless someone's already doing it.
