See that the Ditto Max 10 GB tape drives are cheap at a couple of clearance places. See also that Office Depot is clearing out the tapes.
Still think it would be worth the cost to get one and a few tapes -- can get a whole main partition on one. Wonder if there is software for Linux that recognizes this drive. Iomega sold it to Tecmar, which is discontinuing it, but a couple of outfits are making the tape cartridges. While the software that comes with the drive is only for Win9X, Veritas offers a cheap upgrade path to their single computer backup software, and lists the drive on the supported tape drive list, through Stomp. Stomp might well be a Linux program in disguise. See also notice of a new kernel out. Anybody tried it? I'll be out of town Friday through Sunday night. Trust there will be a November meeting......
