I've got a Wangec E51000HT 1.0 GB 1/4" external tape drive and want
to use it under Linux ...
I have an Adaptec 1522, and have used it under DOS, but of course, the
1522 doesn't work under Linux so ...
I'm looking at buying another Adaptec SCSI card, so I have a few
questions ...
- I know that xxx0 has no floppy controller and xxx2 does, so
that's no biggie.
- But what's the difference between the Adaptec 1542B and 1542C ?
- And how do they compare to the (EISA) 1742?
- And what's a good price for all these cards, especially used.
(I've got a EISA 486/50 ...)
(Also, if anybody knows anything about the tape drive - what kind of
tapes do I need to use to get one gig on it, and do I have to do
anything special to do it ?)
