It connects to the computer via the parallel port. Is there any way to use this drive with FreeBSD 2.1 ? Is there anyway to use any parallel tape drive with FreeBSD ? Is there any way to access the FreeBSD file system under MS-DOS or windows. If so I could just use the Windows software that came with the drive. I suppose I could write a program to do this...
