Ok. I've realized that getting the T3000 to work in this machine is
probably going to be a really big pain. I've been able to find a FC20 card
to control it but for another $80 and I won't have it till Friday at the
earliest. The place I bought it from said that they will take it back for
credit so what I am thinking about is taking it back to them and picking up
a Seagate 3200 Travan drive. It comes with it's own controller so it I
shouldn't have the prbolems I was having with the floppy controller being
too slow. The box says the drive complies with QIC-3020 Wide.
Does anyone out there have BRU working with this tape drive? anyone have
any problems running this thing under linux? know if this controller card
that it comes with is likely supported by ftape? I want to pick this thing
up tomorrow so I'm really looking forward to hearing from anyone who has any
insights.
thanks,
