I have an Iomega ditto Easy800 external tape drive.  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...
