From: pcolsen@super.org (Peter C Olsen)
Subject: 500MB Viper Archive Tape Drives (?)
Date: Wed, 16 Jun 1993 03:11:15 GMT

I'm looking for help from someone who has used Viper Archive Tape
drives, particularly if someone with experience using DC6250 tapes.

I just bought and installed a Viper Archive 2150 tape drive for use
under Linux. The person who sold it to me told me that it would run
reliably with 250MB tapes --- and that I could get about 500MB by
compressing my data. Does anyone have any experience doing this? Is
it reliable? Does it damage the drive?

I'd appreciate any information.

Thanks!

Peter
