I am running Debian using the 2.0.36 kernel on my home PC, and I'm looking
for an inexpensive tape drive. The Linux compatibility HOWTO as well as
the ftape home-page information at
http://zeus.instmath.rwth-aachen.de/~heine/ftape/
both state that the Iomega Ditto Max drives should work with the latest
version of ftape. However, I noticed that Iomega has sold the right to
manufacture Ditto Max drives to Tecmar. If I buy Tecmar's current 10GB
internal Ditto Max Pro drive--the specifications are at
http://www.tecmar.com/ditto/products/dm10gb.html
--will it work with my kernel and with ftape? I would greatly appreciate
advice from any ftape gurus or users of Ditto Max drives.
Thanks!
