Ah, that's what we in the DEC OpenVMS & OSF/1,DigitalUnix,Tru64 world know as the TZ-87. Really old. We have some TZ-89s at work (35/70 capacity) and they still chug along. The SuperDLTs are really nice, though. If you want to backup (uncompressed) a 55GB directory, does Linux (or some userland app) know how to dismount "tape 1" and auto-load "tape 2", then dismount it and auto-load "tape 3", so that you have a tarball that spans 3 tapes? And is there an app for unloading the drive, and then loading the tape from an arbitrary slot? > This is enough for what I need.

YODA: Code! Yes. A programmer's strength flows from code maintainability. But beware of Perl. Terse syntax... more than one way to do it...default variables. The dark side of code maintainability are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you when code you write. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will.
