I am looking to buy an HP Surestore DAT8 DDS-2 DAT tape drive. It is
supposedly a successor to the HP Surestore 6000 external drives.
I looked at HPs web site which has specs on this drive
(http://www.hp.com:80/tape/dat8.html), but it does'nt tell
if this one will work with FreeBSD. I also looked at FreeBSD's
hardware compatibility page, but it does not have this drive
listed since it is fairly new.
Anyone have this working with FreeBSD 2.2 ? Also, I am assuming
that this drive will be able to do backups on a small ethernet
LAN running freebsd machines.
If you run this tape drive with freebsd, what kind of a SCSI card
do you use ?
Your EMAIL responses will be highly appreciated.
Rgds
