Or, if you care to write your own driver, (I will, when I can afford
the tape drive, but first I have to get a few other things), you can
try the Summit SE305, which hooks into the IDE controller. Loosing
one of 4 possible drives, but hey, if business is so sucessful that I
need more than 3 340 or 500 MB hard disks, then I can probably afford
to add a SCSI controller, and slowly convert over then, as opposed to
now, when $200 is a major issue.
