Date: 27 Jul 1996 03:20:34 GMT Organization: Sirius Connections Lines: 34 Message-ID: <4tc1u3$lv9@sun.sirius.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: entombed.sirius.com X-Newsreader: TIN [UNIX 1.3 950824BETA PL0] [ Article reposted from mailing.freebsd.questions ] [ Author was ] [ Posted on 27 Jul 1996 02:27:35 GMT ] I see that JMB posted my question here, but unfortunatly his answer didn't help me as much as I though it would.... I'm looking into these tape drives specifically : Exabyte Eagle 96 Internal (Floppy I/F - QIC3020/3010) Exabyte Eagle TR3 (Travan) Iomega Ditto 3200MB Internal (QIC3020/3010) It appears that both of the exabyte drives include interface cards which speed things up, and the Iomega includes a "Ditto Dash" accelerator. But I have no idea if they're supported by FreeBSD... I looked at the infopages JMB suggested, but unfortunatly they didn't say that this drive or type of drive was specifically supported. The URL for the eagle 96 is - http://www.Exabyte.COM/Products/Minicartridge/Eagle96/Rfeatures.html But they're not very helpful as they only list support for more commercial OSs. Can anyone help me?
