Greg,
You've already proven that you can get around a kernel rebuild, so I'll
recommend the OnStream DI30. It's an ATAPI/IDE drive that store 15GB
per tape native capacity. It can be found at most resellers for $299 or
less. Tapes are around $34 each. You will need to update the kernel
tree with some new drivers that are available from LinuxTapeCert.org or
the OnStream website.
We consistantly see 1MB/sec and storage capacities of around 26GB using
BRU's software compression.
