I am looking into getting a SCSI tape backup drive. Checking the SuSE hardware data base, it lists only the HP Colorado Tape Drive as being fully supported. Is any one using another brand of tape drive that works? I am looking for one that can be installed and not have to do any hacking to get it working.
IMHO SCSI is the way to go with Linux. If Linux can see your SCSI controller, you're home free (pretty much :-) I have a 4/8 Gb DDS-2 drive from Aiwa that works fine off of an el-cheapo Adaptec AHA 1520B ISA card. (Yeah, it's ISA SCSI-2, but we're talking a 486DX2 here, folks).
